Math Challenge I-C Algebra 2.14
I don't understand why the answer for 2.14 is B. Could someone please explain why?
The question wants $x < 7$ and $x < 13$. Between these two requirements, $x < 7$ is more restrictive. In other words, for all $x$ values that are less than $7$, they are already also less than $13$. Therefore the requirement that $x < 7$ already covers $x < 13$, and the two requirements can be combined into just $x < 7$. So the answer is $B$, $(-\infty, 7)$.
