Math Problem Statement

Write a compound inequality for the graph shown. Use x for your variable.

Solution

The image shows a number line with a graph, and the task is to write a compound inequality based on that graph. The graph consists of two filled-in points at x=4x = -4 and x=6x = 6, with a solid line connecting them. This represents the interval between these two points.

Since the dots at x=4x = -4 and x=6x = 6 are filled, it indicates that the values at 4-4 and 66 are included, meaning the inequality should involve "less than or equal to" symbols (≤).

The compound inequality is:

4x6-4 \leq x \leq 6

This means that xx is greater than or equal to 4-4, and less than or equal to 66.
