Question

Solve the compound inequality. Express the solution using interval notation. Graph the solution set.
-$x > 5$ or $x < 5$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound inequality can be separated into two separate inequalities: $x > 5$ and $x < 5$. The solution to the first inequality is $x > 5$, which means all numbers greater than 5 are solutions. The solution to the second inequality is $x < 5$, which means all numbers less than 5 are solutions. Therefore, the solution set is the union of these two sets, which is $(-\infty, 5) \cup (5, \infty)$. This is the answer represented by choice B.
