The length of a rectangle is 8 inches longer than the
width. If the ratio of the
length to perimeter is 5:16,
what is the area of the
rectangle?

compound inequality x − 3 < −9 or x + 5 greater than or equal to 10

correct description on the number line will be: it compose of two segments

x - 3 < -9

x - 3 + 3 < -9 + 3

x < -6

it is a line segment begins with a circle at -6 and continuing to the "left"

x + 5 greater than or equal to 10

x + 5 - 5 greater than or equal to 10 - 5

x greater than or equal to 5

second segment starts at 5 with a solid dot (for the or equal to part) and continuing to the right.
