1) [tex]x \geq 96[/tex]
2) [tex]x\ \textless \ 38[/tex]
Here, the variable [tex]x[/tex] can assume any value, and usually an inequality presented like this has [tex]x[/tex] as a stand-in for all real numbers. If we really wanted to make that fact clear, we could write the two inequalities like this:
[tex]x \geq 96, x\in\mathbb{R}\\ x\ \textless \ 38, x\in\mathbb{R}[/tex]
Formally, you'd read [tex]x\in\mathbb{R}[/tex] as "[tex]x[/tex] is an element of the set of real numbers," which is a fancy way of saying that [tex]x[/tex] can be any real number.
