Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided. 2x + 3 < - 3

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 3 from both sides

$$2x+3 - 3<-5 - 3$$
$$2x<-8$$

Step2: Divide both sides by 2

$$\frac{2x}{2}<\frac{-8}{2}$$
$$x < - 4$$

Answer:

Inequality Solution: \(x < - 4\)
Number Line: Draw an open circle at \(-4\) and shade to the left.
