Question

Which graph shows the solution set for -5/2x-3<_2?

Answer 1

solving the equation given to us first:

-5x/2 = 5/1 ( ignore the ≤ symbol for now and replace with =) and cross multiply

you will get

-5x = 10

x = -10/5 ( minus doesn't stay in denominator so so we take up to numerator )

x = -2

so x ≤ -2

NOTE: if we have ≤ we shade the dot but if we have just < or we don't shade the dot.

soooo

x ≤ -2 will be going backwards

so the answer is option (C).

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
