Question

How to determine how to shade the true solutions to the inequality

Answer 1

This is going to be kinda hard to explain in text, but I'm going to try anyways.

Let's say your inequality is 3<x. First, we need to know what dot to use on the 3.

Since it is less than and not less then or equal to, we use an open dot, a circle, on the 3.

Now we need to see which way to shade.

Since 3 is less than something, we just need to think of something more than 3. 6 for instance.

Once you find a number bigger than 3 you just need to shade that way.

Any questions?
