Solve the compound inequality 9 + 3n >= 6 or 5n < 25. a. n less than or greater to −1 or n < 5 b. n greater than or equal to −5 or n > 5 c. n greater than or equal to −1 or n < 5 d. n less than or greater to −5 or n > 5

Mehek (mehek14):

\(\bf{9+3n≥6~or~5n<25}\)

Mehek (mehek14):

let's do the simple one first \(\bf{5n<25}\)

Mehek (mehek14):

divide \(\dfrac{25}{5}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n< 5

Mehek (mehek14):

correct b and c are out

Mehek (mehek14):

now \(\bf{9+3n≥6}\) subtract 6 - 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3n ≥ -3

Mehek (mehek14):

correct now divide \(\bf{\dfrac{-3}{3}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be A?

Mehek (mehek14):

no the sign stays ≥ because you didn't divide by a negative so C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you that makes more sense now

Mehek (mehek14):

anytime ^_^
