Choose the correct description of the graph of the inequality x − 12 = 5x. Open circle on −3, shading to the left. Closed circle on −3, shading to the left. Open circle on −3, shading to the right. Closed circle on −3, shading to the right.

You mean \(\Large\mathsf{x - 12}\leq\) \(\Large\mathsf{5x}\) right? First you need to solve for x, can you do that?
yes i do mean that, let me try .....
x >/= -3
:D Then you need to graph it.. will you use an open circle or closed circle?
closed ??
Yes! So which one will it be?
how do i know if its shading to the left or right??
It will be helpful if you draw out the graph |dw:1346353046814:dw| \(\Large\mathsf{x\ is\ greater\ than\ -3}\), so the graph will include \(\large\mathsf{all\ numbers\ that\ are\ greater\ than\ -3}\). Which way do you think it should go?
