Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided.

\\3x + 5 \le 2\\

answer attempt 1 out of 2

inequality notation:

number line:

Explanation:

Subtract 5 from both sides

$$ 3x \le 2 - 5 $$

$$ 3x \le -3 $$

Divide both sides by 3

$$ x \le \frac{-3}{3} $$

$$ x \le -1 $$

Identify number line graph parameters

$$ \text{Closed circle at } x = -1 \text{ with shading to the left.} $$

Answer:

Solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided.
