I did 22>x<28 is this correct. I am very confused on inequality word problems. Thank you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you've got the right idea , but the first arrow is reversed

x is greater than (or equal to) 22 AND less than (or equal to) 28 ___ 22 ≤ x ≤ 28


you could change the numbers to eliminate the "or equal to" ___ 21 < x < 29
