You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve this first for X.
4x+%3C+2x+-+10
2x+%3C+-10
X+%3C+-5
this graphs as open circle above -5, arrow to the left.
Solve this for X.
-3x+%3E+-12
x+%3C+4 don't forget to switch your inequality sign since you divided by a negative.
This graphs as open circle above 4, arrow to the left.
to be "AND" there must be overlap. The overlap occurs at -5, so our solution is {X<-5}
