Answer :

Recall that:

1) The solution set of the inequality:

[tex]x\leq b[/tex]

is the following interval:

[tex](-\infty,b\rbrack.[/tex]

2) The solution set of the inequality:

[tex]xis the following interval:[tex](-\infty,b).[/tex]

Therefore the solution set of the given inequalities is:

[tex](-\infty,-2\rbrack\cup(-\infty,-5).[/tex]

Since -5<-2 then:

[tex](-\infty,-5)\subseteq(-\infty,-2\rbrack,[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex](-\infty,-2\rbrack\cup(-\infty,-5)=(-\infty,-2\rbrack.[/tex]

The representation of the above interval in a number line is:
