For "and" compound inequalities the solution is what is true for both inequalities.
%281%2F3%29x%3E2
3%281%2F3%29x%3E3%2A2
%283%2F3%29x%3E6
x%3E6
---and----------
%281%2F4%29x%3E2
4%281%2F4%29x%3E4%2A2
%284%2F4%29x%3E8
x%3E8
x>6 AND x>8
Only the numbers x>8 satisfies both inequalities. We use an open circle or a ( to indicate that it doesn't actually = 8. Shade over all the numbers bigger than 8 (the right side of 8).
