x - 1 <= 2 --- add 1 to both sides and what do you get ?

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

x < 3

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

correct. Now...take a look at this.. if your problem contains an equal sign, it is a closed circle if there is no equal sign, it is an open circle (<) less then means shading to the left (>) greater then means shading to the right Now, what do you think the answer is ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

oops...your answer to the inequality is x <= 3

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

But since there is an equal sign, then it would be a closed circle?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

yes..it is a closed circle

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

and your using a < sign, so which way does the shading go ?

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

To the left! :D Yay!!

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

correct....closed circle on 3, shading to the left....answer C. Good job :)
