Question

4. Which graph represents the solution to -2<3x+1 ?​

Answer 1

Hey there!

-2<3x+1

= 3x + 1 < -2

SUBTRACT 1 to BOTH SIDES

3x + 1 - 1 < -2 + 1

CANCEL out: 1 - 1 because that gives you 0

KEEP: -2 + 1 because that helps you solve for x

-2 + 1 = -3

New EQUATION: 3x > -3

DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES

3x/3 > -3/3

CANCEL out: 3/3 because that gives you 1

KEE3 -3/3 because that helps us compare for x

-3/3 = -1

Answer to the equation: x > -1

OVERALL Answer: x > -1; It is an OPENED circle shaded to the right starting at -1 (Option A.)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
