Question

sean needs to send a thank - you note for each birthday gift he received. sean has already written 12 notes, but he has more to write. let ( g ) represent the total number of birthday gifts sean might have received. which inequality models the story?( g > 12 )( g geq 12 )( g < 12 )( g leq 12 )graph the inequality that models the story. to draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the story details

Sean wrote 12 notes, but has more to write. This means the total number of gifts \(g\) is greater than 12, since he already wrote 12 and needs to write more.

Step2: Match to inequality

The inequality representing "total gifts greater than 12" is \(g > 12\).

Step3: Graph the inequality

• Plot an open endpoint at 12 (since 12 is not included, as \(g\) is strictly greater than 12).
• Draw a ray pointing to the right (toward values larger than 12) on the number line.

Answer:

Inequality: \(g > 12\)
Graph: Open endpoint at 12, ray extending to the right on the number line.
