I am having some trouble solving and graphing inequalities using interval notation. Someone please help?? Thanks.
\n" ); document.write( "x+5<9 and 3x-1<2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify each inequality statement:
\n" ); document.write( "x < 4 AND 3x < 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x < 4 AND x < 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The only way x can be less than 4 and also less than 1
\n" ); document.write( "is to have x be less than 1
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The way to graph this is:
\n" ); document.write( "1. Draw a number line.
\n" ); document.write( "2. Put an open circle around the point labeled x = 1.
\n" ); document.write( "3. Draw an arrow starting at the point and going to
\n" ); document.write( "the left.
