Answer

Final Answer: The solution to the compound inequality is x3 or x7. This can be written in interval notation as [3,)[7,). However, since [7, \infty) is a subset of [3, \infty), we can simplify this to just [3,).

Steps

Step 1 :The given inequality is a compound inequality. It can be solved by isolating the variable 'x' in each inequality.

Step 2 :For the first inequality, we can isolate 'x' by dividing all parts by -5. Remember that when we divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, 5x15 becomes x3.

Step 3 :For the second inequality, we can isolate 'x' by first adding 23 to both sides, and then dividing by 6. So, 6x2319 becomes x7.

Step 4 :Since the original inequality is an 'or' inequality, the solution is the union of the solutions to the two inequalities. So, the solution to the compound inequality is x3 or x7.

Step 5 :Final Answer: The solution to the compound inequality is x3 or x7. This can be written in interval notation as [3,)[7,). However, since [7, \infty) is a subset of [3, \infty), we can simplify this to just [3,).
