Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.
s + 69 < 61
plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the segment, ray, or line to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable s

Subtract 69 from both sides of the inequality $s + 69<61$.
$s+69 - 69<61 - 69$

Step2: Simplify the right - hand side

$s<-8$

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is $s < - 8$. On the number - line, we use an open circle at $-8$ (since the inequality is strict, $s
eq - 8$) and draw a ray to the left of $-8$.
