Questions: Graph the inequality and give interval notation for the solution. Use two o's (as in octop) and a U for union as needed.
-4x + 6 > 18 OR -9x + 3 ≤ 21
Transcript text: Graph the inequality and give interval notation for the solution. Use two o's (as in octop a $U$ for union as needed.
\[
-4 x+6>18 \text { OR }-9 x+3 \leq 21
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Solve the first inequality \(-4x + 6 > 18\)
Subtract 6 from both sides:
\[
-4x > 12
\]
Divide both sides by -4 (and reverse the inequality sign):
\[
x < -3
\]
Step 2: Solve the second inequality \(-9x + 3 \leq 21\)
Subtract 3 from both sides:
\[
-9x \leq 18
\]
Divide both sides by -9 (and reverse the inequality sign):
\[
x \geq -2
\]
Step 3: Combine the solutions using union
The solution to the compound inequality is:
\[
x < -3 \quad \text{OR} \quad x \geq -2
\]
Final Answer
The interval notation for the solution is:
\[
(-\infty, -3) \cup [-2, \infty)
\]
