Question

Which graph shows the solution to the inequality -3x-7x<20

Answer 1

A graph of this inequality would be a number line, with the number -2 circled (not filled in), and the number line to the right of -2 shaded.

To solve this, you will combine like terms first:

-3x-7x < 20
-10x < 20

Divide both sides by -10:
-10x/-10 < 20/-10

When you divide an inequality by a negative number, you flip the inequality symbol:

x > -2
