in each part below, write an inequality to represent the given statement. then graph the inequality on the number line. (a) the amount of water in a fish tank is more than 6 liters. use a for the amount of water in liters. inequality: graph:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify key - word

The key - word "more than" indicates the greater - than symbol.

Step2: Write the inequality

Since the amount of water $a$ is more than 6 liters, the inequality is $a>6$.

To graph it on the number line: Use an open circle at 6 (because 6 is not included in the solution set) and draw an arrow to the right to represent all numbers greater than 6.
