Question

solve the inequality and graph -18 + 17w < 16. plot the endpoints. select an end/middle of the segment, ray, or line to

Explanation:

Step1: Add 18 to both sides

$-18 + 17w+18<16 + 18$
$17w<34$

Step2: Divide both sides by 17

$\frac{17w}{17}<\frac{34}{17}$
$w < 2$

To graph: The endpoint is $w = 2$. Since the inequality is $w<2$, we use an open - circle at $w = 2$ (because 2 is not included in the solution set) and draw a ray to the left of 2 on the number line.

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is $w<2$. On the number - line, use an open - circle at 2 and draw a ray to the left.
