    Choose 1 answer:

    1. x\geq4
    2. \dfrac{9}4
    3. x>-\dfrac{9}4
    4. There are no solutions
    5. All values of x are solutions
  2. Solve for x.

    12x+7< -11 \quad {\text{ OR }} \quad 5x-8>40.

    Choose 1 answer:

    1. x< -\dfrac{3}2 or x>\dfrac{48}{5}
    2. -\dfrac{3}2
    3. x>\dfrac{3}2 or x
    4. There are no solutions
    5. All values of x are solutions
  3. Solve for x.

    4x-39> -43 \quad {\text{ AND}} \quad 8x+31.

    Choose 1 answer:

    1. x or x>-1
    2. x
    3. x>-1
    4. There are no solutions
