Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided. 5x - 9 < 16. inequality notation: blank number line graph area shown but text - only description here as ocr cant capture graph.

Explanation:

Step1: Add 9 to both sides

$8x-9 + 9<25 + 9$
$8x<34$

Step2: Divide both sides by 8

$x<\frac{34}{8}=\frac{17}{4} = 4.25$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x < 4.25$
For the number - line, draw an open circle at $4.25$ (since the inequality is strict, $x$ cannot equal $4.25$) and shade the line to the left of $4.25$.
