Question 958068:  Your or compound inequality  
1  x ≥ -3 or 5x  1 > 19 
Solve the compound inequalities Be careful of how a negative x-term is handled in the solving process. Show all math work arriving at the solutions. 
Show the solution sets written algebraically and as a union or intersection of intervals. Describe in words what the solution sets mean, and then display a simple line graph for each solution set.

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 1  x ≥ -3 or 5x  1 > 19 
-x>=-4 or 5x > 20 
x <= 4 or x > 4 
Note: This pair of conditions covers the entire number line. 
------ 
Ans: (-oo<4]U(4,+oo) 
--------------------------- 
Draw a number line. 
Plot x = 4 as a closed circle on the line. 
Draw an arrow from 4 to the left. 
Draw a circle from 4 to the right.
