Question 320460
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


And so would anyone else be.  You show the relationship between *[tex \LARGE 6] and *[tex \LARGE -2x\ +\ 5] and between *[tex \LARGE -2x\ +\ 5] and *[tex \LARGE -5x\ +\ 3], but it is impossible to determine the relationship between *[tex \LARGE  6] and *[tex \LARGE -5x\ +\ 3].


A compound inequality needs to have the inequality symbols going in the same direction.  And I can't tell from what you have written if:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -2x\ +\ 5\ <\ 6\ \leq\ -5x\ +\ 3]


Or


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ -2x\ +\ 5\ \leq\ -5x\ +\ 3\ <\ 6]


Or if you simply made a typo and reversed one of the inequality symbols intending to mean:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 6\ <\ -2x\ +\ 5\ \leq\ -5x\ +\ 3]


or


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 6\ >\ -2x\ +\ 5\ \geq\ -5x\ +\ 3]
