Find all real numbers x such that 3x-4>5 and -8x-19<21?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

isolate x in both inequalities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's x>3 and x>-5?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

x > 3 is right

OpenStudy (welshfella):

-8x - 19 < 21 -8x < 40 dividing by a negative number FLIPS the inequality;- x > -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay, so then how would those be represented on a number line?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so combining the 2 what do we get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x>2?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

|dw:1432735901683:dw|

OpenStudy (welshfella):

all real numbers > -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh okay, thank you
