Question

Solve the inequality 171>-6x and graph the solution what does the graph look like

Answer 1

To solve the inequality, you need to isolate/get x by itself:

171 > -6x    Divide -6 on both sides [dividing/multiplying a negative number on

-28.5 < x      [dividing/multiplying a negative number in an inequality causes the sign (<, >, ≤, ≥) to flip]

-28.5 < x    [x is a number greater than -28.5]

So your graph should have an open circle at -28.5 (the first small line next to -28), and the arrow pointing to the right since x is greater than -28.5 (increasing)      The 1st option is your answer

[use the o---> and put it at -28.5]
