Question

Choose the correct description of the graph of the compound inequality x − 3 < −11 or x + 5 greater than or equal to 14.

The answer choices are:

A) A number line with a closed circle on −8, shading to the left, and an open circle on 9, shading to the right
B) A number line with an open circle on −8, a closed circle on 9, and shading in between
C) A number line with an open circle on −8, shading to the left, and a closed circle on 9, shading to the right
D) A number line with a closed circle on −8, an open circle on 9, and shading in between

Answer 1

x - 3 < -11
x < -11 + 3
x < - 8

x + 5 > = 14
x > = 14 - 5
x > = 9

open circle on -8, shading to the left.....closed circle on 9, shading to the right
