SOLUTION: How do I go about answering this question on compound inequalities? 7x+8>or=to -55 or 9x+2>or=to -16 I do not know where to begin.

Here is the question:
or
step 1 - notice that "OR" splits the 2 inequalities.
--
First solve the left side to get



When you graph this, you get a closed circle above -9 and an arrow to the right.
--
Second solve the right side to get



When you graph this, you get a closed circle above -2 and an arrow to the right.
--
With the word or, we general want opposite arrows. One OR both must be true. In this case we eventually have arrow overlapping.
The longer of the 2 is , so that is our answer.
