Question

21. Choose the correct solution and graph for the inequality. (1 point)

2x - 2 < - 12 or 2x + 3 > 7

A. x < - 5 or x > 2
B. x < - 5 or x > 5
C. x < - 7 or x > 5
D. x < - 12 or x > 2

Answer 1

Solve for X on both equations

2x - 2 < -12

Add two on both sides
2x < -10

Divide by two on both sides
2 < -5

2x + 3 > 7

Subtract three on both sides
2x > 4

Divide by two on both sides
x > 2


A. x < -5 or x > 2
