Question

Which of the following is the solution to the compound inequality below? 5+x≥3 or 6x+1<-29

Answer 1

first one: x is greater than or equal to -2

second one: x < -5

Answer 2

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The given inequality is:

`5+x\geq 3`

If we subtract 5 from both sides

`5+x-5\geq 3-5`

`x\geq -2` ....... Answer

The second inequality is :

`6x+1<-29`

If we subtract 1 in both sides

`6x+1-1<-29-1`

`6x<-30`

Dividing 6 in both sides

`x<-(30)/(6)`

`x<-5` ......... Answer
