Question

graph the compound inequality.
-5 < x < -3
plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of a segment, ray, or line to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify inequality type

The inequality $-5 < x < -3$ is a strict compound - inequality.

Step2: Determine endpoint type

Since it's a strict inequality, both endpoints are open.

Step3: Plot on number - line

On the number - line, mark open circles at $x=-5$ and $x = - 3$. Then shade the region between them.

Answer:

On the given number - line, place open circles at $-5$ and $-3$ and shade the region between them.
