Question

Graph the solution to this inequality on the number line.

12x−3<−138

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Solve

12x-3+3<-138+3 <=== Add three to both sides to simplify the inequality

12x÷12<-135÷12 <=== divide by 12 on both sides so we can find what x is so that we can graph the inequality

x<-11.25 <=== negative divided by positive is always negative

2. Graph

1) you find -11.25 on the number line

2) you put an ray with an empty/hollow circle facing towards the negative side
