Math Problem Statement
Solution
The compound inequality in the image is:
This inequality can be solved as follows:
- First part:
- Second part:
This is an "or" inequality, meaning that can satisfy either one or both conditions. Therefore, the solution is the union of these two intervals.
Solution set:
- The solution consists of all values of that are less than or equal to , and all values of that are greater than or equal to .
This can be written in interval notation as:
Now, let's analyze the answer choices based on this understanding:
-
Choice A is incorrect because the inequality symbols or the number ranges seem to be wrong.
-
Choice B correctly matches the inequality. It will likely say:
-
Choice C ("The solution is all real numbers") is incorrect because the solution set does not cover all real numbers.
-
Choice D ("There is no solution") is also incorrect, since there are solutions for or .
Final Answer:
Choice B is the correct answer.

- How do you solve compound inequalities with "and" versus "or" conditions?
- Can a compound inequality ever have no solution?
- What is the difference between an inequality with "or" and one with "and"?
- How can you graph the solution of a compound inequality on a number line?
- How would you solve a compound inequality that involves absolute values?
Tip: When dealing with "or" inequalities, think of the union of two separate solution sets—any solution that satisfies one or both parts works!
