Question

The graph of an inequality is an open circle around the number five with the line shaded to the right of five. Which inequality could this represent? A. 4(m + 8) > 12 B. 4(m + 8) < 12 C. 4(m – 2) > 12 D. 4(m – 2) < 12

Answer 1

Open circle around the number 5.....an open circle means that there is no equal sign in the problem.....and shaded to the right....this means greater then.....so this solution would be : m > 5

4(m - 2) > 12 <=== this one
4m - 8 > 12
4m > 12 + 8
4m > 20
m > 20/4
m > 5
