Question

Solve -2x + 1 less than or equal to -7 and festive the graph of solution.
A. X less than or equal to 4; closed circle on 4, shading to left.
B. x greater than or equal to 4; closed circle on 4, shading to right.
C. X greater than or equal to 4; open circle on 4, shading to right.
D. X less than or equal to 4; open circle on 4, shading to left.

Answer 1

Describe not festive*

Answer 2

basically what you should be doing on this problem is solving for x.
-2x+1=-7 solve for x. Then that should bascially give you you're answer :)

Answer 3

But not sure if it's an open or closed circle..

Answer 4

If the inequality includes the 'or equals to' qualifier, then it is always closed at some point.

-2x + 2 <= -7

This solution will have a close circle.

Answer 5

- 2x + 1 <= -7
-2x <= -7 -1
-2x <= - 8
-2x/-2 => -8/-2
x => 4

Answer : B...x is greater then or equal to four, closed circle on 4 shaded to the right :)

Answer 6

Well done!
