x>2, you use an open circle above the #2 and shade to the right. If the equation was greater than or equal to 2, you would use a closed circle and shade to the right! Less than 2 would use the open circle to not include 2 and you would shade all numbers to the left of 2. Less than or equal to 2, solid circle which includes #2 and shade all #'s to the left of 2!

What does the word compound inequalities mean?
Compound inequalities is when there is two inequality signs. You will regularly graph compound inequalities on a number line.
How do you know which region of a system of inequalities is the solution?
Each inequality divides the Cartesian plane into two parts. On one side of the line the inequality is satisfied while on the other it is not. A system of inequalities divides the plane into a number of such parts and the intersection of these parts in which the inequalities are true defines the the required region.
When graphing a system of inequalities the line is dotted for the?
strict inequality
Does inequalities sometimes have real number solutions?
Yes, they can.
What does it mean to find the solutions of system of inequalities?
In 2-dimensional space, an equality could be represented by a line. A set of equalities would be represented by a set of lines. If these lines intersected at a single point, that point would be the solution to the set of equations. With inequalities, instead of a line you get a region - one side of the line representing the corresponding equality (or the other). The line, itself, may be included or excluded. Each inequality can be represented by a region and, if these regions overlap, any point within that sub-region is a solution to the system of inequalities.
