You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4x < 2x - 10 and -3x > -12.
Which is the best description of the solution set? ??
--------------------------
4x < 2x - 10 and -3x > -12
------
2x < -10 and x < 4
---
x < -5 and x < 4
------------------------
Because of the AND condition x < -5 is the answer because all
x's that are less then -5 will also be less then 4.
