Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.
17 < -17s
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.

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -17

When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, $\frac{17}{-17}>\frac{-17s}{-17}$.

Step2: Simplify

Simplifying gives $- 1>s$, which can be written as $s < - 1$.

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is $s < - 1$. On the number - line, we place an open circle at $-1$ (because the inequality is strict, $s
eq - 1$) and draw an arrow to the left.
