Question

graph the compound inequality. 5 < x < 8 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 the inequality type

The inequality $5 < x < 8$ is a strict - inequality (no equal - to sign), so the endpoints are not included.

Step2: Plot on the number line

On the number line, place open circles at $x = 5$ and $x = 8$. Then draw a line segment between these two open - circles to represent all the values of $x$ that satisfy the inequality.

Answer:

On the given number line, place open circles at 5 and 8, and draw a line segment connecting them.
