I nedd to write an inquality to represent the following condition.
A landscaper architect wants her project to use at most 110 gallons of water per day.Each shrub requires 1 gallon of water and each tree requires 3 gallons of water per day. Let x=number of shrubs, and y=number of trees. Write an inequality that says that the plants chosen will not meet the landscapers water limit.

b) Suppose you want to cover the backyard with decorative rock and plant some trees as the first phase of the project. You need 30 tons of rock to cover the area. If each ton cost $60 and each tree is $84, what is the maximum number of trees you can buy with a budget for rock and trees of $2,500? Write an inequality that illustrates the problem and solve. Express your answer as an inequality and explain how you arrived at your answer.
c) Would 5 trees be a solution to the inequality in part b? Justify your answer.

Question 175633: I am not understanding exactly how to do this problem. My answer comes up entirely different from the given answer in the book. I need to know the steps in solving this Inequality.
Compound Inequality. Give the solution set in both interval and graph form.
x+2 > 7 or 1-x > 6
I come up with this solution:
x+2 > 7 or 1-x > 6
-2 > -2 or -1 -1
x> 5 or x > 5
The book says the union is ( -infinity,-5) U (5,infinity)
I came up with two positives. I can not figure out what am I doing wrong in this Inequality, please help.
Your help is gracefully appreciated.
Thank you!
