Let’s decode the sentence. It mentions “A number,” so we know we have a variable. We’ll call the variable n. It goes on to say, “. . . less than 24 or greater than 35,” so we know we must use the less than and greater than symbols, and we also know she have two inequalities, hence the “or.”?
Now, let’s create the inequality:
Part A: n<24 or n>35
Part B: To graph the compound inequalities, identify the locations of 24 and 35, and plot an open circle (⭕️) around 24 and 35. Then, draw a line pointing left of 24, indicating less than 24, and then draw a line pointing right of 35, indicating greater than.
Here’s what the graph looks like:
