Solve the compound inequality.

Question

3y+2<20 or 4y+4<12

 

Write the solution in interval notation.
If there is no solution, enter ∅.

 

very confused by this question

Answer 1

3y + 2 < 20       or        4y + 4 < 12

 

y < 6                or           y < 2

 

y < 2

 

 

This is because the values such as 3 , 4, 5 are not solutions of y<2.
