Question 144139
Solve then graph.
x + 6 < -3 or x + 6 > 1 
x < -9 or x > -5
---------------------

The solution is {xlx < -9 U x >-5}
Do -9 and -5 go in the question mark places above in that order? -9 in the first box and -5 in the second?
Yes
--------------------------


And would the graph Have a ] or AN ) at the -9 spot with the arrow going to the left towards the higher -numbers? And a [ or an ( at the -5 spot? 
-------
Interval Notation for the solution set:
(-inf,-9) U (-5,+inf)
------
Comment: You use ( and ) instead of [ and ] because the solution
statement does not include "=".
