Malcolm is trying a very low-carbohydrate diet. he would like to keep the amount of carbs consumed in grams between the levels shown in the following compound inequality:
50 < 2x + 10 and 2x + 10 < 110
solve for x in this inequality, and explain what the answer represents.
a: x < 20 and x > 50; malcolm needs to consume less than 20 grams of carbohydrates or more than 50 grams of carbohydrates.
b: x > 20 and x < 50; malcolm needs to consume more than 20 grams of carbohydrates, but less than 50 grams of carbohydrates.
c: x > 30 and x < 60; malcolm needs to consume more than 30 grams of carbohydrates, but less than 60 grams of carbohydrates.
d: x < 30 and x > 60; malcolm needs to consume less than 30 grams of carbohydrates or more than 60 grams of carbohydrates.
