Question

Solve 12x < 96. Graph the solution

Answer 1

Explanation:

12x<96. divide both sides by 12

x<8

So it would be a leftward arrow with a hollow dot at 8 because 8 is not included because x is ‘less tha’ 8

Answer 2

x < 8

see attached image

Explanation:

Start by dividing both sides by 12 (which is a positive number, so the inequality symbol stays as it is)

x < 96 / 12

x < 8

then graph it as the left side of the x-axis to the point 8, NOT including this point (use an empty dot as shown in the attached image)
