Which compound sentence has its solution set shown on the graph below? 2x - 4 > 6 or 3x < 9 2x - 4 < 6 and 3x > 9 3x + 8 > -7 or -4x < 12 3x + 8 < -7 and -4x > 12

There might be a simpler way to do this, if there is, sorry.

If you look at the graph, x is greater than 3 but less than 5.

So: x > 3 and x < 5

I would simplify each solution set and get "x" by itself (until I get the right answer):

A.) 2x - 4 > 6 or 3x < 9

2x - 4 > 6    Add 4 on both sides

2x > 10      Divide 2 on both sides

x > 5        (you could stop here and go to the next choice since you know this does not match the graph)

3x < 9     Divide 3 on both sides

x < 3

x > 5 and x < 3

B.)   2x - 4 < 6 and 3x > 9

x < 5   and    x > 3

Your answer is B or the 2nd option

[C and D would have given a negative number]
