Question 305345: The compound inequality b > 4 and b > 17 has the same solutions as:

A. b > 4
B. b > 17
C. 4 < b < 17
D. b < 4 or b < 17

First we must understand these two seperate inequalities.
b > 4 means that b is the set of values greater than 4
b > 17 means that b is the set of values greater than 17
We can note that b > 17 is a subset of the values of b > 4.
Hence, the compound of b > 4 and b > 17 is
A. b > 4

First we must understand these two seperate inequalities.
b > 4 means that b is the set of values greater than 4
b > 17 means that b is the set of values greater than 17
We can note that b > 17 is a subset of the values of b > 4.
Hence, the compound of b > 4 and b > 17 is
A. b > 4
