Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.

b < 10 - 9

to draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the ray to delete it.

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

submit

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the right side

Calculate \(10 - 9 = 1\), so the inequality becomes \(b < 1\).

Step2: Graph the solution

On the number line, we have an open circle at \(1\) (since the inequality is \(b < 1\), not \(b \leq 1\)) and the arrow points to the left (towards negative infinity) to represent all numbers less than \(1\).

Answer:

The solution to the inequality \(b < 10 - 9\) is \(b < 1\). To graph it, place an open circle at \(1\) on the number line and draw an arrow to the left.
