Question

solve and graph the following inequality: 1 + 5x < -19
inequality:
provide an answer accurate to the nearest tenth.
graph:
number line options

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the inequality

Subtract 1 from both sides of \(1 + 5x<-19\).
\(1+5x - 1<-19 - 1\)
\(5x<-20\)
Divide both sides by 5.
\(x<-4\)

Step2: Graph the inequality

On a number line, draw an open circle at \(-4\) (because \(x
eq - 4\)) and shade the line to the left of \(-4\).

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is \(x < - 4\). On the number - line, there is an open circle at \(-4\) and the line is shaded to the left of \(-4\).
