Question

Solve the compound inequality
2x + 5 < -1 and 4x + 6 > -18
Graph the solution on a number line.

Answer 1

@whpalmer4 think you can help, maybe?

Answer 2

2x + 5 < -1
2x < -1 - 5
2x < -6
x < -3

4x + 6 > -18
4x > -18 - 6
4x > -24
x > - 6

so we now have : x is greater then -6 and less then -3 or -6 < x < -3

open circle on -3, open circle on -6, shading in between

Answer 3

My friend @texaschic101 has covered it well, I think.

Answer 4

But if you still have questions, you know where to (eventually) find me...
