Question

Compound Inequalities
Solve for x.
−9x+5<17 AND 13x+25<−1

Answer 1

`x>-(4)/(3)` AND
`x<-2`

Explanation:

-9x + 5 < 17 AND 13x + 25 < -1

13x + 25 < -1

Subtract 25 from both sides;

13x < -26

Divide both sides by 13;

x < -2

-9x + 5 < 17

Subtract 5 from both sides;

-9x < 12

Divide both sides by -9

x >
`-(12)/(9)=-(4)/(3)`
