EXAMPLE 5 Solve an “and” compound inequality Solve – 4 < 6 x – 10 ≤ 14. Then graph the solution. – 4 < 6 x – 10 ≤ 14 Write original inequality. – 4 + 10 < 6 x – 10 + 10 ≤ 14 + 10 Add 10 to each expression. 6 < 6 x ≤ 24 1<x≤ 4 Simplify. Divide each expression by 6. ANSWER The solutions are all real numbers greater than 1 and less than or equal to 4. The graph is shown below.

EXAMPLE 6 Solve an “or” compound inequality Solve 3 x + 5 ≤ 11

EXAMPLE 6 Solve an “or” compound inequality Solve 3 x + 5 ≤ 11 or 5 x – 7 ≥ 23. Then graph the solution. SOLUTION A solution of this compound inequality is a solution of either of its parts. First Inequality 3 x + 5 ≤ 11 Write first inequality. 3 x ≤ 6 Subtract 5 from each side. x ≤ 2 Divide each side by 3. Second Inequality 5 x – 7 ≥ 23 Write second inequality. 5 x ≥ 30 Add 7 to each side. x ≥ 6 Divide each side by 5.
