The graph of the solution to the inequality 1/3x-

Question

The graph of the solution to the inequality 1/3x-<5  has a closed circle at 2 and is shaded to the right
@ranga can you help me?

true or flase

anonymous · Answer

Is it false, but the circle would be closed?

anonymous · Answer

*because

ranga · Answer

Is the inequality:$$\Large \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }x \le 5$$?

ranga · Answer

It is not clear what the inequality is in the problem.  Does it look like my previous reply?

anonymous · Answer

yes, but the < is not underlined

ranga · Answer

1/3x-<5 
What is that between x and <

anonymous · Answer

1/3x-1<5

anonymous · Answer

sorry about that

ranga · Answer

1/3x - 1 < 5
add 1 to both sides
1/3x < 6
multiply both sides by 3
x < 18
which has nothing to do with closed circle at 2.  So it is false.

okay thank you :)

anonymous · Answer

can you check a problem for me?

ranga · Answer

go ahead.

anonymous · Answer

-2x+3y=7
+2x      +2x
3y/3= 7+2x

y=(7+2x)/3

??

ranga · Answer

y = 2/3x + 7/3

ranga · Answer

Were you asked to put the equation in slope intercept form?

anonymous · Answer

Solve the equation for the letter y

ranga · Answer

okay, if all it says is solve for y, you can stop at what you had at y=(7+2x)/3.
Either one is fine.

ranga · Answer

I just split (7 + 2x) / 3 as 7/3 + 2x/3. 
But you can leave it either way and both are fine.

anonymous · Answer

okay, thank you so much!
