Q. Solve for cc.\newline16<c14<1-16 < c - 14 < 1\newlineWrite your answer as a compound inequality with integers.\newlineChoices:\newline(A)c<2c < -2 or c15c \geq 15\newline(B)2<c<15-2 < c < 15\newline(C)2<c15-2 < c \leq 15\newline(D)c<2c < -2 or c>15c > 15
  1. Isolate c in compound inequality: First, we will isolate cc in the compound inequality by adding 1414 to all three parts of the inequality.\newline16<c14<1-16 < c - 14 < 1\newline16+14<c14+14<1+14-16 + 14 < c - 14 + 14 < 1 + 14\newline2<c<15-2 < c < 15
  2. Determine range for cc: Now that we have isolated cc, we can see that cc must be greater than 2-2 and less than 1515. This is already in the form of a compound inequality with integers.
  3. Compare with given choices: We compare our result with the given choices to find the correct one. Our result is 2<c<15-2 < c < 15, which matches choice (B)(B).
