Question

Which number line represents the solution to the inequality x - 3 > 2

Answer 1

Answer: x > 5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get x by itself on one side.

Since 3 is being subtracted from x, we add 3 to

both sides of the inequality to get x > 5.

When graphing x > 5, we have an open circle on 5 and the

open circle tells us that 5 is not part of our answer.

Then we draw an arrow going to the right to represent

all possible solutions to this inequality, any number greater than 5.
