Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution. 9m < 18 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. submit

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the inequality

Divide both sides of \(9m < 18\) by \(9\).
$$\frac{9m}{9}<\frac{18}{9}$$

Step2: Simplify

Simplify the left - hand side \(\frac{9m}{9}=m\) and the right - hand side \(\frac{18}{9} = 2\). So \(m<2\).

Answer:

The solution of the inequality \(9m < 18\) is \(m < 2\). On the number line, we have an open circle at \(m = 2\) (because \(2\) is not included in the solution set) and the line extends to the left of \(2\) towards negative infinity.
