Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Picture 1:</u>
<u />
First, add the 2x and x together for 3x
Then add 3 to both sides of the equation
Finally, divide each side by 3.
<u>Picture 2:</u>
<u /><u />
First, add 7x and x together for 8x
Then, minus 20 from both sides of the equation
Finally, divide each side by 8.
We are given the inequality,
Now let us simplify this to get the value of a,
Adding 15 to both the sides,
So we have a>10 and a<17
One more thing that we need to look at is whether we will have close dots or open dots at 10 or 17.
If we have "=" sign along with inequality sign (≤ or ≥) then we use closed dot.
If we dont have "=" sign along with inequality sign (< or >) then we use open dot.
In our case we use open dot , since we dont have "=" sign.
So Answer will be option third, line starting from 10 to 17 with open dots at 10 and 17.
