Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is −2x − 8 < −44 and −2x − 8 ≥ −48. OR answer choice D

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

  • D) −2x − 8 < −44 and −2x − 8 ≥ −48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given compound inequality:

  • −44 > −2x − 8 ≥ −48

Just split the inequality into two simpler inequalities:

  • −44 > −2x − 8 ⇒  −2x − 8 < - 44 and
  • −2x − 8 ≥ −48

Correct choice is D
