(-inf, 1] and (5, +inf)
Explanation:
Solving by the double-number- line method.
First solve foe x in the 2 inequalities:
Mark these values of x on a double-number-line:
(1) + + + + + + + + + +1 - - - - - - - - - - - - 5 - - - - - - - - - - - -- -
(2) - - - - - - - - - - - - -1 - - - - - - - - - - - - 5 + + + + + + + + + +
By superimposing, the compound solution set are:
half closed interval (- inf, 1] and open interval (5, inf)
