Answer:

14)A compound inequality is
10>x\geq 65

15)A compound inequality is
65\% <x< 100\%

16)A compound inequality for the temperatures at which mercury in nonliquid. is
-38^(\circ) F>x> 673.8^(\circ)F

Explanation:

14)

Let x be the age of person

We are given To receive a discount, a person must be under 10 years old, or 65 years or older.

So,
x<10 or
x \geq 65

So, a compound inequality is
10>x\geq 65

15) Let x be the percentage scored

We are given that The scores on the last test ranged from 65% to 100%.

So,
65\% <x< 100\%

So, a compound inequality is
65\% <x< 100\%

16)

Let x be the temperature

We are given that Mercury is nonliquid for temperatures less than -38°F or greater than 673.8°F

So,
x< -38^(\circ) F or
x > 673.8^(\circ)F


-38^(\circ) F>x> 673.8^(\circ)F

So, a compound inequality for the temperatures at which mercury in nonliquid. is
-38^(\circ) F>x> 673.8^(\circ)F
