Answer: D There are no solutions.

Explanation:

First you must note that we solve inequalities just like normal equation, the only difference is that the sign of inequality will change whenever we multiply both sides by a minus sign or reciprocate both sides.

To solve -6x+14<-28

Subtract 14 from both sides,

= -6x+14-14<-28-14

= -6x<-42

Multiplying both sides by minus we have;

= 6x>42 (Note that the sign changed to greater than)

Dividing both sides by 6, we have

x>7 or 7<x....(1)

Similarly for 3x+28≤25

Subtracting 28 from both sides we have;

3x+28-28≤25-28

3x≤-3

x≤-1...(2)

Combining (1) and (2) inequalities, we have 7<x≤-1

Therefore, there are no solutions
