Solve for x. x + 3 ≤ -6 or x - 19 ≥ 1 Write your answer as a compound inequality with integers. Choices: (A)x ≤ -9 or x ≥ 20 (B)x ≤ -3 or x ≥ 20 (C)x ≤ -3 or x ≥ -18 (D)x ≤ -9 or x ≥ -18

Solve First Part: Solve the first part of the compound inequality x + 3 ≤ -6. Which operation should we use to isolate x? In x + 3, 3 is being added to x. Subtraction should be used to isolate x. x + 3 ≤ -6 x + 3 - 3 ≤ -6 - 3 x ≤ -9Solve Second Part: Solve the second part of the compound inequality x - 19 ≥ 1. Which operation should we use to isolate x? In x - 19, 19 is being subtracted from x. Addition should be used to isolate x. x - 19 ≥ 1 x - 19 + 19 ≥ 1 + 19 x ≥ 20Combine Solutions: Combine the solutions from Step 1 and Step 2 to write the final compound inequality. The solution is x ≤ -9 or x ≥ 20.

Solve First Part: Solve the first part of the compound inequality $x + 3 \leq -6$ . Which operation should we use to isolate $x$ ? In $x + 3$ , $3$ is being added to $x$ . Subtraction should be used to isolate $x$ . $x + 3 \leq -6$ $x + 3 - 3 \leq -6 - 3$ $x \leq -9$
Solve Second Part: Solve the second part of the compound inequality $x - 19 \geq 1$ . Which operation should we use to isolate $x$ ? In $x - 19$ , $19$ is being subtracted from $x$ . Addition should be used to isolate $x$ . $x - 19 \geq 1$ $x - 19 + 19 \geq 1 + 19$ $x \geq 20$
Combine Solutions: Combine the solutions from Step $1$ and Step $2$ to write the final compound inequality. $\newline$ The solution is $x \leq -9$ or $x \geq 20$ .
