Pls help with this question

Answer 1

Answer:

x<56

Step-by-step explanation:

First off look at the number the dot is on.

Its at 56.

So next we see if the dot is filled in or not.

If the dot is filled in, then its either less than equal to or greater than equal to

If the dot is empty, then its less than or greater than

The dot is not filled in

So next see which way the line is going

The line is going left, which means that the number is getting smaller

Make the equation

start with x

x

The sign will be < because x has to be less than 56.

x < 56

An easy trick to remember which way the sign goes in these types of questions [not in all cases though] is look which way the line is going.

Think of the signs as arrows

If you have < then the line goes <-- left

If you have > then the line goes --> right

Answer 2

Answer:

x<56

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the dot over 56 isn't filled in, the inequality doesn't include 56 (so we'll use < or > not $\leq$ or $\geq$)

Now, let's look at the direction of the shading: is it going to the left of 56 or to the right?

This shading is to the left of 56, which indicates that it's all of the numbers less than 56.

As said above, the inequality doesn't include 56

therefore, it will be x<56 (x is less than 56, and 56 is not included)

hope this helps!
