Q. What is the solution to the compound inequality in inteval notation?2(x+3)>6 or 2x+3≤−7
Distribute and Simplify: Solve the first inequality 2(x+3) > 6. First, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses: 2\times x + 2\times 3 > 6, which simplifies to 2x + 6 > 6.
Subtract to Isolate Variable: Subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality 2x + 6 > 6 to isolate the term with the variable: 2x + 6 - 6 > 6 - 6, which simplifies to 2x > 0.
Divide to Solve for x: Divide both sides of the inequality 2x > 0 by 2 to solve for x: \frac{2x}{2} > \frac{0}{2}, which simplifies to x > 0.
Subtract to Isolate Variable: Solve the second inequality 2x+3≤−7. Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with the variable: 2x+3−3≤−7−3, which simplifies to 2x≤−10.
Divide to Solve for x: Divide both sides of the inequality 2x≤−10 by 2 to solve for x: 22x≤2−10, which simplifies to x≤−5.
Combine Solutions: Combine the solutions of the two inequalities to express the solution of the compound inequality.The first inequality gives us x > 0, and the second inequality gives us x≤−5. Since these are connected by "or," we take the union of the two solutions.
Express in Interval Notation: Express the solution in interval notation.The solution to x > 0 is (0,∞), and the solution to x≤−5 is (−∞,−5]. Since we are looking for the union of these two solutions, the interval notation for the compound inequality is (−∞,−5]∪(0,∞).
