Answer

$r\lt2$ or $r\geq 7$ The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 2r+3\lt 7$ or $-r+9 \leq 2$ Solve the first inequality. $\Rightarrow 2r+3\lt 7$ Subtract $3$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 2r+3-3\lt 7-3$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2r\lt 4$ Divide each side by $2$. $\Rightarrow \frac{2r}{2}\lt \frac{4}{2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow r\lt 2$ Solve the second inequality. $\Rightarrow -r+9 \leq 2$ Add $r-2$ to each side. $\Rightarrow -r+9+r-2 \leq 2+r-2$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 7 \leq r$ Hence, the solution is $r\lt2$ or $r\geq 7$.
