Answer:

x< -6 or x > 0 (C is correct for question 1.) x ≤ 2 (C is correct for question 2)

Explanation:

You have given me 2 questions:

| x + 3 | + 7 > 10

3x + 6 ≤ 12

Let's solve the first one:

| x + 3 | + 7 > 10

Before we start, the greater-than sign means that the point on the number line has to not be filled in.

| x + 3 | + 7 > 10

**Along with this equation you need to do a negative one meaning you need to flip the sign to a less than one and make 10 and 7 negative.

| x + 3 | - 7 < -10

| x + 3 | + 7 > 10

**Notice that this one is the original one.

Subtract 7 both sides

| x + 3 | > 10 -7

Now do 10-7

| x + 3 | > 3

Now subtract 3 both sides

x > 0

The negative case:

| x + 3 | - 7 < -10

Add 7 both sides

| x + 3 | < -10 + 7

Do -10 + 7

| x + 3 | < -3

Subtract 3 both sides

x < -3-3

Solve -3-3

x < -6

Your inequalities:

x< -6 or x > 0

The or statement is for greater than and the "and" is for less than.

Answer Choice C is correct.

Next Question:

3x + 6 ≤ 12

**Before we do anything, we have a less than or equal sign**

The point will be filled on the number line.

This is a typical inequality two-step:

3x + 6 ≤ 12

Subtract 6 from both sides

3x ≤ 12-6

Do 12-6

3x ≤ 6

Now divide 6 by 3

x ≤ 2

Answer Choice C is correct.
