Question

If x < 5 and x > c, give a value of c such that there are no solutions to the compound inequality. Explain why there are no solutions

Answer 1

51=c

x = 51


Nothing equals 51

Answer 2

The value of c could be 5 or any number greater than 5.The solution is the intersection of both solution sets of the given inequalities.The solutions of the compound inequality must be solutions of both inequalities.A number cannot be both less than 5 and greater than 5 at the same time.
