Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided.
8 + 3x > 23
answer attempt 1 out of 2
inequality notation:
number line:

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 8 from both sides

$$8 + 3x-8>23 - 8$$
$$3x>15$$

Step2: Divide both sides by 3

$$\frac{3x}{3}>\frac{15}{3}$$
$$x > 5$$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \(x>5\)

For the number - line: Draw a number line. Put an open circle at \(x = 5\) (because the inequality is \(>\), not \(\geq\)) and draw an arrow to the right of \(5\) to represent all the numbers greater than \(5\).
