Answer

The solution is all real numbers. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow x-8\leq 4$ or $2x+3 \gt 9$ Solve the first inequality. $\Rightarrow x-8\leq 4$ Add $8$ to each side. $\Rightarrow x-8+8\leq 4+8$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x\leq 12$ Solve the second inequality. $\Rightarrow 2x+3 \gt 9$ Subtract $3$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 2x+3-3 \gt 9-3$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 2x\gt 6$ Divide each side by $2$. $\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{2}\gt \frac{6}{2}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x\gt 3$ Merge the overlap solution Hence, the solution is all real numbers.
