@jim_thompson5910

Answer 2

have you solved for x yet?

Answer 3

go ahead and solve for x and tell me what you get

you don't have to completely solve if you get stuck

Answer 4

just show us what you have so far

Answer 5

x >/= 14

Answer 6

great !

Answer 7

i just have to put it step by step for part one but idk how to lol

Answer 8

written explanation? or actually showing the work?

Answer 9

showing the work

Answer 10

12 + 4x <= 5x - 2

12 <= 5x - 2 - 4x

12 <= x - 2

12+2 <= x - 2+2

14 <= x

x >= 14

Answer 11

That's what you should have. Of course, there's more than one way to do this.

Answer 12

Now just graph it or describe how to graph it

Answer 13

uhhhh.............. well i know its a closed circle right??

Answer 14

it is

Answer 15

we're including the endpoint

Answer 16

and its shading to the left??

Answer 17

>= is greater than or equal to

so x >= 14 means "any number larger than 14 or 14 itself"

Answer 18

How would i put Part 2? How would i explain how to graph it?

Answer 19

Just describe the endpoint (open or closed), then describe the shading (left or right)

Answer 20

that should be a good substitute for the actual graph

Answer 21

the endpoint is closed and the shading is to the left right?

Answer 22

why to the left?

Answer 23

cuz it shades wherever the less than sign is right???

Answer 24

not sure what you mean, but...


if you have < or <=, you shade to the left

if you have > or >=, you shade to the right

Answer 25

ohhhhhhh ok

Answer 26

can you put it together??

Answer 27

the shading to the right represents all the numbers that are greater than or equal than 14

Answer 28

Can you put it all together like if you were answering part 2 ??

Answer 29

To graph x >= 14, draw a number line. Then plot a closed circle at 14. Then shade to the right of this closed circle.
