Question

graph the compound inequality on the number line.
x < 5 or x > 7

Explanation:

Step1: Graph \(x < 5\)

For \(x < 5\), draw an open circle at \(5\) (since \(5\) is not included) and shade to the left.

Step2: Graph \(x>7\)

For \(x > 7\), draw an open circle at \(7\) (since \(7\) is not included) and shade to the right.

Answer:

The graph has an open circle at \(5\) with shading to the left and an open circle at \(7\) with shading to the right.
