Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided.
3x - 6 < -27.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
inequality notation:
number line:
-12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12
click and drag to plot line

Explanation:

Step1: Add 6 to both sides

$3x - 6 + 6 < -27 + 6$
$3x < -21$

Step2: Divide by 3 on both sides

$\frac{3x}{3} < \frac{-21}{3}$
$x < -7$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x < -7$

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