Answer

$(-3,5]$. The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given compound inequality is $3x\leq15$ and $2x\gt-6$. Solve each inequality separately. $\Rightarrow 3x\leq15$ and $2x\gt-6$. $\Rightarrow x\leq5$ and $x\gt-3$. First graph then take the intersection of the solution sets of the two inequalities. The graph is shown in the image file. We can write the compound inequality. $x\leq5$ as $(-\infty,5]$ and $x\gt-3$ as $(-3,\infty)$ The intersection is $(-\infty,5]\cap(-3,\infty)=(-3,5]$.
