Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided. -2 + 7x ≤ -16 answer attempt 1 out of 3 < > ≤ ≥ or inequality notation: number line:

Explanation:

Step1: Add 2 to both sides

$-2 + 7x+2\leq - 16 + 2$
$7x\leq - 14$

Step2: Divide both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7}\leq\frac{-14}{7}$
$x\leq - 2$

Answer:

$\leq$, $x\leq - 2$

To graph on the number - line: Draw a number line. Mark a closed circle at - 2 (because the inequality is $\leq$) and shade the line to the left of - 2 to represent all the values of $x$ that satisfy the inequality.
