Answer:

5 < x < 9

Explanation:

To solve the first one 2(x-4) < 10, you will distribute which gets you 2x-8<10. Then you will add 8 on both sides which gets you 2x < 18. Then, you divide by 2 on both sides which gets you x < 9.

The other equation is x + 1 > 6. To solve, you will just subtract 1 on both sides. Then you will get x > 5.

When you combine both of these solutions, x is greater than 5 but less than 9. This can be written as 5 < x < 9.

Hope this helps!
