Answer:

A. d ≤ –7 or d > 8.

Explanation:

Given : 2d + 3 ≤ –11 or 3d – 9 > 15.

To find : What are the solutions of the compound inequality .

Solution : We have given 2d + 3 ≤ –11 or 3d – 9 > 15.

For 2d + 3 ≤ –11

On subtracting both sides by 3

2d ≤ –11 - 3 .

2d ≤ –14.

On dividing both sides by 2 .

d ≤ –7.

For 3d – 9 > 15.

On adding both sides by 9.

3d > 15 + 9 .

3d > 24 .

On dividing both sides by 3 .

d > 8 .

So, A. d ≤ –7 or d > 8.

Therefore, A. d ≤ –7 or d > 8.
