Question

Medal Will Be Awarded!! The graph of an inequality is an open circle around the number five with the line shaded to the right of five. Which inequality could this represent? A. 4(m + 8) > 12 B. 4(m + 8) < 12 C. 4(m – 2) > 12 D. 4(m – 2) < 12

texaschic101 · Answer

open circle means there is no equal sign. Line shaded to the right means it is greater then. So automatically, we know B and D cannot be the answer.

A) 4(m + 8) > 12
   4m + 32 > 12
   4m > 12 - 32
   4m > -20
    m > -5

C) 4(m - 2) > 12
4m - 8 > 12
 4m > 12 + 8
4m > 20
m > 5

what do you think is the correct answer ?
