Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.
j + 3 > 7
to draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the ray to delete it.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable \( j \)

Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality \( j + 3 > 7 \).

$$ j + 3 - 3 > 7 - 3 $$

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplifying gives \( j > 4 \).

For graphing: The solution \( j > 4 \) means we have an open circle at 4 (since 4 is not included in the solution) and an arrow pointing to the right (for all values greater than 4) on the number line.

Answer:

The solution to the inequality is \( j > 4 \). For the graph, plot an open endpoint at 4 and draw an arrow to the right.
