Graphing, look at picture for question

7>-2x+3>=-7 do you know how to solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got -2, 5 when i solved it

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

we want to get x alone in the middle so first we want to get rid of the 3 so -3 from all three parts of the inequality 7-3>-2x+3-3>=-7-3 4>-2x>=-10 now we want to get rid of the 2 from the middle so we will devide each part by two, but when we multiply or devide by a negative we must flip the signs of the inequality so 4/-2<-2/-2(x)<=-10/-2 -2<x<=5 so the set is (-2,5] which option is that?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

o sorry I did not read that, but what is important here is that 5 is included, but -2 is not. Understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.. so how would i know what graph it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zzr0ck3r

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

we are saying that if we put in an x to that inequality statement, as long as that x is in the interval (-2,5] it is true, in other words all x values between -2(including -2) and 5(not including 5) the way we denote including on a graph is with a solid dot, and the way we denote not included is an open dot, so whats the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is the 1st graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or the 3rd one? I'm not sure..

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

we said the lowest it can go is -2, so it for sure cant be anything that includes -4 and -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it has to be the 3rd graph right? Because that doesn't include -4

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

we are saying that if we put in an x to that inequality statement, as long as that x is in the interval (-2,5] it is true, in other words all x values between -2(*not including -2) and 5(*including 5) the way we denote including on a graph is with a solid dot, and the way we denote not included is an open dot, so whats the answer?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

sorry i wrote that wrong the first time, i made changes at *

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

we want x values between -2 and 5, which graph on there has x values between -2 and 5? Dont even think about the open closed dot

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

yes:)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

why you delete? you were right:)
