Question

Compound Inequalities
Solve for x.
−9x+5<17 AND 13x+25<−1

Answer 1

Answer:

$x>-\frac{4}{3}$ AND $x<-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x + 5 < 17 AND 13x + 25 < -1

13x + 25 < -1

Subtract 25 from both sides;

13x < -26

Divide both sides by 13;

x < -2

-9x + 5 < 17

Subtract 5 from both sides;

-9x < 12

Divide both sides by -9

x > $-\frac{12}{9}=-\frac{4}{3}$
