how do I graph x is equal to or less than 5 and x is equal to or greater than 3

Step 1. Graph each inequality and and see where they overlap.

Step 2. Let's graph x%3C=5

number_line%28+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+5%2C+-10%29

The solution for this graph goes FROM the RED dot at x=5 TO and PASS the green dot at -10

Step 3. Let's graph +x%3E=3

number_line%28+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+3%2C+10%29

The solution for this graph goes FROM the RED dot at x=3 TO and PASS the green dot at +10.

Step 4. ANSWER: The solution is between the RED dot at x=3 and the GREEN dot at x=5 since the two inequalities in Steps 2 and 3 overlap this region between 3 and 5.

number_line%28+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+3%2C+5%29

I hope the above steps were helpful.
