Question

Which number line shows the solution to the inequality -2x-3> -11

Answer 1

Answer:

x < 4 (description of number line in explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

First we solve the inequality with inverse operations.

-2x-3 > -11

We can add 3 to both sides to cancel it out

-2x > -8

To isolate x, we divide both sides by -2. (When dividing or multiplying by a negative number the inequality sign swaps.)

x < 4

Now we can make the number line! (I will describe it because I can't draw)

First we plot 4 on the number line. The circle will be open, not filled because it is not <=.

Then because x is anything less than 4, shade in everything to the left of 4 and we are done!
