Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.
\\( \frac { a } { 2 } < 2 \\)
plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed
middle of the segment, ray, or line to delete it.
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by 2

$$\frac{a}{2}\times2<2\times2$$

Step2: Simplify

$$a < 4$$

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is \(a < 4\). On the number - line, we plot an open circle at \(4\) (because \(4\) is not included in the solution set) and draw a ray to the left of \(4\) to represent all real numbers less than \(4\).
