Which single inequality covers the solutions for both parts of the following compound inequality.

x – 2 > -5 OR 5x ≥ 25

A.x ≥ 5
B.x > 5
C.x > -3
D.x ≥ -3

Answer 1

x-2\(>-5\) means the same as x\(>\)-3.
5x\(\ge\)25 means the same as x\(\ge\)5.
From the number line, can you find one inequality which will satisfy both conditions?

Answer 2

x > -3 ?

Answer 3

Let's take -1, which satisfies x>-3. Does it satisfy x>=5?
If it doesn't, then it is not the good answer.
