Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. 5x < 5

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x

Divide both sides by 5.
$x<\frac{5}{5}$

Step2: Simplify

$x < 1$

To graph on the number - line: Draw an open circle at 1 (since x is less than 1, not less than or equal to 1) and shade the line to the left of 1.

Answer:

$x < 1$; On the number - line, an open circle at 1 and shade to the left.
