Answer 1

What did you get for your solution to the inequality?

Answer 2

did you solve the inequalities ?

Answer 3

Idk

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

do you know how ?

Answer 6

nope i think

Answer 7

do you know how to solve equations ?

Answer 8

-3 <= -2x + 1
-3 - 1 <= -2x
-4 <= -2x
2 >= x (you change the inequality sign when dividing/multiplying by a negative.

-2x + 1 < 11
-2x < 11 - 1
-2x < 10
x > -5 (change the inequality)

do you understand how I did that ?
They are pretty much solved the same way as equations except for the rule about changing the sign when dividing/multiplying by a negative.

Answer 9

if there is an equal sign involved, the circle will be closed.
if there is no equal sign, then the circle is open.
if it is less then, shading goes to the left.
if it is greater then, shading goes to the right.

Answer 10

so we have 2 > = x or x < = 2
and x > -5

can you figure out the graph ?

Answer 11

nope

Answer 12

is it A

Answer 13

BINGO.....you got it. Good job.

Answer 14

yes thank you
