Question 144139: Solve then graph.
x + 6 < -3 or x + 6 > 1
The solution is {xlx ?}
Do -9 and -5 go in the question mark places above in that order? -9 in the first box and -5 in the second?(I cant make boxes either so I used question marks) And would the graph Have a ] or AN ) at the -9 spot with the arrow going to the left towards the higher -numbers? And a [ or an ( at the -5 spot? I hope i am making sense to you all. Can someone please help?

Solve then graph.
x + 6 < -3 or x + 6 > 1
x < -9 or x > -5
---------------------
The solution is {xlx < -9 U x >-5}
Do -9 and -5 go in the question mark places above in that order? -9 in the first box and -5 in the second?
Yes
--------------------------

And would the graph Have a ] or AN ) at the -9 spot with the arrow going to the left towards the higher -numbers? And a [ or an ( at the -5 spot?

Interval Notation for the solution set:
(-inf,-9) U (-5,+inf)
------
Comment: You use ( and ) instead of [ and ] because the solution
statement does not include "=".

Here is the answer in set-builder notation


In interval notation the answer is


When you graph, you will only use parenthesis since the inequalities do not have an equals sign (ie you're not including any of the endpoints)
