Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.
8 < j + 6
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 j

Subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality $8 < j + 6$.
$8-6

Step2: Simplify the inequality

$2 2$.

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is $j>2$. On the number - line, we have an open - circle at $j = 2$ and an arrow pointing to the right.
