help

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

what is the solution to the compound inequality

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

|dw:1474324799131:dw|

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

-6<x<-4 -2<x<-1 0<x<5 -2<x<3

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

i think it is b but im not really sure how to do it

Mehek (mehek14):

-8 ≤ 2x - 4 Solve for x 2x - 4 < 2 solve for x

Mehek (mehek14):

Do you know how to solve for x?

OpenStudy (croit):

use basic algebraic 'transformations' (what's their real name in english?)

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

so would i do 2x-4+4<2+4 2x<6?

Mehek (mehek14):

And then divide by 2

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

3

Mehek (mehek14):

So x < 3 is one

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

oh so its the last one -2<x<3

Mehek (mehek14):

Yep

OpenStudy (croit):

well, @mehek14 is taking good care of you

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

thank you so much

Mehek (mehek14):

You're welcome (:

OpenStudy (song_of_the_sole):

much easier then i though

Mehek (mehek14):

Just break down the inequality into 2 because it's compound.
