Question

solve and graph the following inequality: -16 + 20x < 104
provide an answer accurate to the nearest tenth.
inequality:
graph:
number line options

Explanation:

Step1: Add 16 to both sides

$$-16 + 20x+16<104 + 16$$
$$20x<120$$

Step2: Divide both sides by 20

$$\frac{20x}{20}<\frac{120}{20}$$
$$x < 6.0$$

Answer:

The inequality is \(x < 6.0\). On the number - line, there is an open circle at \(x = 6.0\) and the line is shaded to the left of \(6.0\) (since \(x\) is less than \(6.0\)).
