Question 454760: I can't solve or graph this compound inequality.
x + 13 < -6 or x + 13 > 2

Why not?
x+13 < -6
x+13 > 2
They are contradictory!
You can't have a number less than -6 which is also more than 2
I suspect you have the signs reversed!
-6 < x+13 < 2
makes much more sense.
That would be any value between -6 to 2
