Question

Choose the correct description of the solution to the inequality -2x 10.

Open circle on -5, shading to the left.

Closed circle on -5, shading to the left.

Open circle on -5, shading to the right.

Closed circle on -5, shading to the right.

Answer 1

you need to look at your question again....what is the inequality sign ?

Answer 2

<=

Answer 3

-2x <= 10
-2x/-2 >= 10/-2 (when dividing by a negative, the sign changes)
x >= - 5

We know that since there is an equal sign in the inequality, that the -5 is included, therefore it will contain a closed circle.

Since it is greater then a -5, it will be shaded to the right.

ANSWER : closed circle on -5, shaded to the right :)
