Question

16 solve the inequality. (a) $k - 14leq - 10$ (b) graph the inequality.

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the inequality

Add 14 to both sides of $k - 14\leq - 10$.
$k-14 + 14\leq-10 + 14$

Step2: Simplify the result

$k\leq4$

Step3: Graphing concept

For $k\leq4$, a closed - circle is used at 4 (because $k$ can equal 4) and shading to the left (for values less than 4).

Answer:

(a) $k\leq4$
(b) On a number - line, draw a closed circle at 4 (since the inequality is $\leq$) and shade the line to the left of 4.
