Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. 2 < x + 5 answer attempt 1 out of 3 inequality notation: blank number line: number - line image with range from - 12 to 12

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x

Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality $2 < x + 5$. So, $2-5$2 - 5=-3$, and $x+5 - 5=x$. We get $- 3

Step2: Rewrite the inequality

The inequality $-3 < x$ can be rewritten as $x>-3$.

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x > - 3$
Number Line: An open - circle at - 3 and a line extending to the right.
