Answer:

The single inequality -6 < x < 12, can be written as two inequalities thus

x > -6 and x < 12

Explanation:

For the single inequality -6 < x < 12,

To write the single inequality as two inequalities, first we will separate it into two as

-6 < x and x < 12

-6 is less than x means x is greater than -6, Hence, -6 < x can be written as

x > -6.

∴-6 < x and x < 12 becomes

x > -6 and x < 12

Hence, the single inequality -6 < x < 12, can be written as two inequalities thus

x > -6 and x < 12

Therefore, the correct option is the first one

x > -6 and x < 12
