Question 147976: I am trying to find the solution to the inequality of
6 > - 3x + 5 or 9 � - 5x + 2
Add 3x to both sides
3x + 6 > 5
Subtract 6 from both sides
3x > -1
X = - 1/3
Next equation
9 � - 5x + 2
Add 5x to both sides
5x + 9 � 2
Subtract 9 from both sides
5x � -7
X = -7/5
Is the solution to the problem
( - �, -7/5] � ( -1/3, �)
Because - 7/5 is included so it gets a square bracket but -1/3 gets a parentheses because it is not included and the infinite symbol always gets a parentheses.
Am I getting this correct or am I way off?
Thank you for all your time and help with this as I am trying to prepare for a test.

6 > - 3x + 5
9 = - 5x + 2
-------------------
I am trying to find the solution to the inequality of
6 > - 3x + 5 or 9 � - 5x + 2
Add 3x to both sides
3x + 6 > 5
Subtract 6 from both sides
3x > -1
X > - 1/3
----------------------
Next equation
9< - 5x + 2
Add 5x to both sides
5x + 9 < 2
Subtract 9 from both sides
5< -7
X < -7/5
Is the solution to the problem
( - �, -7/5] � ( -1/3, �)
Because - 7/5 is included so it gets a square bracket but -1/3 gets a parentheses because it is not included and the infinite symbol always gets a parentheses.

It looks good to me.
