Question

kenji is baking a loaf of bread and 6 bagels. he has 21 teaspoons of sesame seeds. he uses 9 teaspoons of sesame seeds on the loaf of bread. he wants to know how many teaspoons of sesame seeds he can use on each bagel. let x be the number of teaspoons of sesame seeds on each bagel. solve the inequality 9 + 6x ≤ 21. which graph best represents the teaspoons of sesame seeds kenji can use on each bagel?

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the term with x

Subtract 9 from both sides: $6x \leq 21 - 9$ → $6x \leq 12$

Step2: Solve for x

Divide both sides by 6: $x \leq 2$

Step3: Identify the correct graph

A number line with a closed circle at 2 and shading to the left represents $x \leq 2$.

Answer:

The graph representing $x \leq 2$ (closed circle at 2, shading left)
