Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.
9 + 2q < 15
plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of
the segment, ray, or line to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 9 from both sides

$$9 + 2q-9<15 - 9$$
$$2q<6$$

Step2: Divide both sides by 2

$$\frac{2q}{2}<\frac{6}{2}$$
$$q < 3$$

Answer:

The solution of the inequality \(9 + 2q<15\) is \(q < 3\). On the number - line, we have an open circle at \(q = 3\) (since the inequality is strict, \(q
eq3\)) and the line extends to the left of \(3\) towards negative infinity.
