Compound Inequality: Solve and graph 2x ≤ 0 and x + 1 ＜ 8

Anusha from SVSU Micro Math helps you solve a compound inequality, then graph it and write the solution using interval notation. A “compound inequality” is two or more inequalities connected by “and” or “or”. In this problem, the word “and” tells us to take the intersection of the solution sets.
