QuestionSolve and graph the inequality . Plot endpoints, change one to open, and delete the middle section.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The inequality to solve is . We need to find the value of that satisfies the inequality3. The inequality is linear, meaning it involves a variable to the first power4. The solution will be a range of values, not a single value
STEP 2
First, we need to simplify the left side of the inequality. We can do this by distributing the5 to both terms inside the parentheses.
So, the inequality becomes
STEP 3
Next, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality. We can do this by adding30 to both sides of the inequality.
This simplifies to
STEP 4
Finally, to solve for , we need to divide both sides of the inequality by.
This simplifies to
STEP 5
Now that we have the solution to the inequality, we can graph it. Since is greater than or equal to8, we will draw a closed circle at8 (indicating that8 is included in the solution) and draw a line extending to the right (indicating all numbers greater than8).
So, the solution to the inequality is .
