If x < 5 and x > c, give a value of c such that there are no solutions to the compound inequality. explain why there are no solutions.

The solution set is , meaning that all at least satisfy this constraint.

If , we have and , meaning has to be both greater than and less than , which is impossible.  If is any greater, , so still must be greater and less than at the same time.  So for all , the system has no solution.

B. 2 1/2 feet. multiply 2.5 inches by 12 to get thirty inches then divide by 12 to get 2.5 feet
