Question

Express the solution graphically of – }(2x + 1) < 3.

Answer 1

Answer:

The third one counting from the top.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the inequality:

(-1/3)*(2x + 1) < 3

The first thing we need to do is isolate x on one side of the inequality.

First we can by -3 in both sides of the inequality, and remember, because we are multiplying by a negative number, the inequality sign changes its direction:

(-3)*(-1/3)*(2x + 1) > 3*(-3)

(2x + 1) > -9

Now we can subtract 1 in both sides:

2*x + 1 - 1 > -9 - 1

2*x > -10

Now we can divide by 2 in both sides:

2*x/2 > -10/2

x > -5

Then we should see a number line such that all the points at the right of -5 are colored.

The correct option is the third one, counting from the top.
