Solve each inequality by itself.
2x - 6 < -12 and 3x + 5 > -13
Add 6 to both sides Subtract 5 from both sides
2x < -6 and 3x > -18
Divide both sides by 2 Divide both sides by 3
x < -3 and x > - 6
You can write the solution as
x > - 6 and x < -3
To graph, draw a number line.
Place an open dot on -6.
Place an open dot on -3.
Draw a wide, dark line from one dot to the other dot.
