To solve the given compound inequality \(1-x<7+x \text{ or } 7x+6>x\), we will solve each part separately. First, solve the inequality \(1-x < 7+x\): 1. Add \(x\) to both sides: \[ 1 < 7 + 2x \] 2. Subtract \(7\) from both sides: \[ -6 < 2x \] 3. Divide by \(2\): \[ -3 < x \] or equivalently, \[ x > -3 \] Now, let's solve the second inequality \(7x + 6 > x\): 1. Subtract \(x\) from both sides: \[ 7x - x + 6 > 0 \] \[ 6x + 6 > 0 \] 2. Subtract \(6\) from both sides: \[ 6x > -6 \] 3. Divide by \(6\): \[ x > -1 \] Now, we combine the two parts of the compound inequality. Since we have "or," we take the union of the two intervals: From \(x > -3\), we have the interval \((-3, \infty)\). From \(x > -1\), we have the interval \((-1, \infty)\). The union of these two intervals is: \[ (-3, \infty) \cup (-1, \infty) = (-3, \infty) \] because \(-1\) is greater than \(-3\), and thus it essentially encompasses all values greater than \(-3\). The solution set in interval notation is: \[ (-3, \infty) \] Graphically, this would be represented on a number line with an open circle at \(-3\) and an arrow extending to the right, indicating all values greater than \(-3\).
