Question

Which of the following is the solution to the compound inequality below? 5+x≥3 or 6x+1<-29

Answer 1

first one: x is greater than or equal to -2

second one: x < -5

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The given inequality is:

$5+x\geq 3$

If we subtract 5 from both sides

$5+x-5\geq 3-5$

$x\geq -2$  .......             Answer

The second inequality is :

$6x+1<-29$

If we subtract 1 in both sides

$6x+1-1<-29-1$

$6x<-30$

Dividing 6 in both sides

$x<-\frac{30}{6}$

$x<-5$   .........                Answer
