Answer 1

Open circle on -3, shading to the left.

Closed circle on 3, shading to the left.

Open circle on 3, shading to the right.

Closed circle on -3, shading to the right.

Answer 2

Can you solve this for x first?

Answer 3

@almartinez26 'x' should be positive. So what can you divide by to make it positive?

Answer 4

1?

Answer 5

by -1.

Answer 6

So once you do that we now have...

x < -3

Because when you divide by a negative... the sign flips...

Answer 7

This says...

x is less than -3, right?

Answer 8

Let me ask you... is the symbol pointing to the left or to the right?

Answer 9

it will be x < -3. soooo it's open circle on -3 shading to the left, right?

Answer 10

Yes!!

Answer 11
