question
solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below.
2 < x + 5
answer attempt 1 out of 2
< > ≤ ≥ or
inequality notation:
number line:
-12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x

Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality $2 < x + 5$.
$2-5

Step2: Simplify

$-3 - 3$.

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x>-3$
Number Line: Mark an open - circle at - 3 (since the inequality is strict, i.e., $x$ is greater than but not equal to - 3) and draw an arrow to the right.
