Question

solve for j. j + 19 < 9 or j - 5 ≥ 15 write your answer as a compound inequality with integers.

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the first inequality

Subtract 19 from both sides of $j + 19<9$.
$j+19 - 19<9 - 19$
$j<-10$

Step2: Solve the second inequality

Add 5 to both sides of $j - 5\geq15$.
$j-5 + 5\geq15 + 5$
$j\geq20$

Answer:

$j < - 10$ or $j\geq20$
