Which inequality has the following solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wheres the solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im attaching a file now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which way is the line going? "<" this way or ">" that way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused myself about the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm thats the line from the work i got problems with..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@blondie16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its going < way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Umar97 Is the line going left or right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it sure dnt give u really any information does it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then use any pronumeral. you can use x or z whatever.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what does the uncoloured circle mean? Does it mean it's include which means that it's \[\le \] or does it mean it's not included meaning it's \[<\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

included

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choose your option @Umar97

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm "<"? I havent really studied this yet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

GOod job.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember, coloured circle means it's included.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it's not coloured it's < or >. Okay. Now, So we finally have this: x<?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All wee need to do is fill in that question mark with a number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What number is the circle on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good. You just owned it. SO now you know the circle is on -1 what number would we fill the question mark with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x < -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!! Bravo. You go it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got it*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but theres no option for this answer :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the options?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it a different pronumeral or something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x + 9 < 10 x + 7 < 6 x - 8 > -9 x - 5 ≤ - 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay we got this right? x < -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what we're looking for. ALl we need to do with those options is move the number to the RHS so that we solely have x on the LHS(Left Hand Side)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I will do the first option: \[x+9<10\] \[x+9-9<10-9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x<10-9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x<1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the first option/ x<1 does not match what we found which was x<-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh you have to do all of them till you find the one that matches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks, you helped me alot! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is x - 8 > -9?
