Question
solve the inequality and graph the solution.
2 - n > -6
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.
Step1: Isolate the variable term
Subtract 2 from both sides of the inequality $2 - n> - 6$. We get $2 - n-2>-6 - 2$, which simplifies to $-n>-8$.
Step2: Solve for n
Multiply both sides of the inequality $-n > - 8$ by -1. Remember to reverse the inequality sign when multiplying by a negative number. So we have $n < 8$.
Step3: Graph the solution
On the number - line, we plot an open circle at 8 (since the inequality is $n < 8$, 8 is not included in the solution set) and draw a ray to the left.
