Math Problem Statement
3x+3 ≤6 and -2y>-10 convert to interval notation
Solution
To convert the inequalities into interval notation, let's address each inequality separately:
First inequality:
- Subtract 3 from both sides:
- Divide both sides by 3: This corresponds to the interval:
Second inequality:
- Divide both sides by -2. Remember, dividing by a negative number flips the inequality sign: This corresponds to the interval:
Final answer in interval notation:
For : For :
