The goal is to combine them into a single continued inequality and find the range of values for xx that satisfy both conditions <strong>simultaneously<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s first solve each inequality one at a time. Starting with 8x\u22123&lt;08x &#8211; 3 &lt; 0, we isolate xx by first adding 3 to both sides, giving 8x&lt;38x &lt; 3, and then divide by 8 to get x&lt;38x &lt; \\frac{3}{8}. This means that xx must be less than 38\\frac{3}{8}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s solve the second inequality 8x&gt;08x &gt; 0. Divide both sides by 8 to get x&gt;0x &gt; 0. This tells us that xx must also be greater than 0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the values of xx that satisfy <strong>both<\/strong> inequalities, we look for the overlap or intersection between the two solutions. x&lt;38x &lt; \\frac{3}{8} overlaps with x&gt;0x &gt; 0 in the range where: 0&lt;x&lt;380 &lt; x &lt; \\frac{3}{8}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is called a <strong>compound inequality<\/strong>, which shows a range of numbers that satisfy two or more conditions. Visually, on a number line, this would be an open interval between 0 and 38\\frac{3}{8}, excluding both endpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the solution to the combined inequality is: 0&lt;x&lt;38\\boxed{0 &lt; x &lt; \\frac{3}{8}}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means xx can be <strong>any real number<\/strong> between 0 and 38\\frac{3}{8}, but <strong>not equal<\/strong> to either endpoint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If 8x -3 &lt;0 and 8x&gt;0, express these in a continued inequality and find its solution.
