Split the compound inequality into two separate inequlities. and
.
First draw First, graph the inequality .
Since the inequality symbol is , draw a dot at 2 with an arrow to the right.
Next, graph the inequality .
Since the ineqality symbol is , draw a dot at 10 with an arrow to the left on the same number line.
Finally find the overlapping region.
\
The compound inequality solution set is .
