Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution. -3q > 12 plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the segment, ray, or line to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -3

When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, $\frac{-3q}{-3}<\frac{12}{-3}$.

Step2: Simplify

Simplifying gives $q < - 4$.

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is $q < - 4$. On the number - line, we plot an open circle at $-4$ (because the inequality is strict, $q
eq - 4$) and draw a ray to the left of $-4$.
