Dana Henson · Answer 1

the answer is C. x ≥ 8.00 and x < 9.50

proof

x ≥ 8.00 is equivalent to 8.00 ≤ x, and we have also x < 9.50

so x ≥ 8.00 and x < 9.50 or 8.00 ≤ x < 9.50

The compound inequality 8.00 ≤ x < 9.50 represents all values, x, for which college students are paid hourly as teacher assistants. What is another way of writing this compound inequality?A. x ≤ 8.00 and x < 9.50B. x ≤ 8.00 or x < 9.50C. x ≥ 8.00 and x < 9.50D. x ≥ 8.00 or x < 9.50
