Answer:

So the final solution is q < 9 and the inequality is False.

Explanation:

To solve the given inequality, you first need to simplify the left-hand side of the inequality:

9 + 8 = 17

so the inequality becomes:

17 > 20 or 2q - 5 < 13

Since 17 is not greater than 20, this inequality is false.

Next, we need to solve the other inequality:

2q - 5 < 13

To isolate the variable on one side of the inequality, we need to add 5 to both sides:

2q < 18

Then, we divide both sides by 2:

q < 9

So the solution is q < 9

So the final solution is q < 9 and the inequality is False.
