Answer

Since we want the solution that satisfies both inequalities, we need to find the intersection of the intervals x>4 and x<4. However, there is no value of x that is both greater than and less than 4, so the intersection is the empty set.

Steps

Step 1 :First solve the inequality 2x3>5. Add 3 to both sides to get 2x>8, then divide by 2 to get x>4.

Step 2 :Next solve the inequality 3x+2<14. Subtract 2 from both sides to get 3x<12, then divide by 3 to get x<4.

Step 3 :Since we want the solution that satisfies both inequalities, we need to find the intersection of the intervals x>4 and x<4. However, there is no value of x that is both greater than and less than 4, so the intersection is the empty set.
