Question

question solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. 7 + x < 16 answer attempt 1 out of 2 inequality notation: number line: submit answer click and drag to plot line. -12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the inequality

Subtract \(7\) from both sides of \(7 + x<16\).
\(7+x - 7<16 - 7\)
\(x < 9\)

Step2: Represent in inequality notation

The inequality notation for \(x < 9\) is \((-\infty,9)\)

Step3: Graph on the number - line

On the number - line, draw an open circle at \(x = 9\) (because \(9\) is not included in the solution set) and shade the line to the left of \(9\) (since \(x\) is less than \(9\))

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \((-\infty,9)\)
Number Line: An open circle at \(9\) and shade to the left.
