Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows the following compound inequality problem:
Let's solve each part of the compound inequality separately:
1. Solve :
Add 1 to both sides: Divide both sides by 3:
2. Solve :
Subtract 5 from both sides: Divide both sides by 4:
3. Combine the results:
The compound inequality requires both conditions to be satisfied simultaneously. Thus, the solution is:
This is the final solution, which can be graphed on the number line as an open interval from to .
Do you need help graphing this, or would you like further details on any step?
Here are five related questions to further your understanding:
- How would the solution change if the inequalities included "≤" or "≥" instead of "<" or ">"?
- How do you solve a compound inequality if the word "or" is used instead of "and"?
- Can compound inequalities have no solution? If so, when does that occur?
- How would you graph on a number line?
- What happens if you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number?
Tip: When solving inequalities, always remember that multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number reverses the inequality sign!
