Question

$2x + 16 < 2$
answer attempt 1 out of 2
$<$, $>$, $\leq$, $\geq$, or
inequality notation:
number line:
(number line ranging from -12 to 12 with arrows on both ends)

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 16 from both sides

$2x + 16 - 16 < 2 - 16$
$2x < -14$

Step2: Divide by 2 on both sides

$\frac{2x}{2} < \frac{-14}{2}$
$x < -7$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x < -7$

For the number line: Plot an open circle at $-7$ and draw an arrow pointing to the left (towards negative infinity) to represent all values less than $-7$.
