WILL FAN AND MEDAL!!! Solve (x + 2 < 5) ∩ (x - 7 > -6). A. {x | 1 < x < 3} B. {x | x < 3 or x > 1} C. {all real numbers}

OpenStudy (welshfella):

first solve x + 2 < 5 and x - 7 > -6 separetly

OpenStudy (welshfella):

can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x<3 x>1

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right now the solution set will be the intersection of the 2 inequalities . I guess you know that the sign ∩ means intersection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did not know that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the answer B.{x | x < 3 or x > 1}

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- so x must satisfy both inequalities

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WAIT!!! IT'S A!?!?!?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No its not that one - for example if x was 4 it would satisfy this

OpenStudy (welshfella):

x must be between -3 and 1

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes A is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!!!
