To do this, you first have to solve the first inequality for x: 2x+5>9, 2x>4 and x>2.  Now solve the next one for x as well: 5x <=30, x<=6.  Now work on putting them onto a number line together.  Since there is not an "equal to" with that greater than, the circle is open above the 2.  The next one has an "equal to" with it so that's a closed circle above the 6.  This is a conjunction, meaning the solution will show what is shared between the 2 inequalities, so you have an open circle above the 2 and shading to the right til you get to the closed circle above the 6 (which is technically shaded to the left down to the open circle at 2). So your choice is B.

Answer:

B) A number line with an open circle on 2, a closed circle on 6, and shading in between
