We draw the number line for each inequality <=============o------------------------------ for x < -3 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -----------------------------o===============> for x > 2 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Since it's "or" we put both together on a number line: <=============o--------------o===============> for x > 2 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Interval notation: Edwin
