Answer:

  • 5 < x < 11  or x ∈ (5, 11)

-----------------------------

Given compound inequality:

  • - 2x < - 10 and x - 5 < 6

Solve each inequality:

  • - 2x < - 10               Divide both sides by - 2, it flips the inequality sign
  • x > 5

  • x - 5 < 6                  Add 5 to both sides
  • x < 11

Solution is:

  • 5 < x < 11

or

  • x ∈ (5, 11)
