Question

1. 3 + v ≤ -9

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate variable $v$

Subtract 3 from both sides.
$3 + v - 3 \leq -9 - 3$

Step2: Simplify both sides

Calculate the resulting values.
$v \leq -12$

Step3: Graph the inequality

On the number line, plot a closed dot at $-12$ (since the inequality includes equality) and shade all values to the left of $-12$.

Answer:

$v \leq -12$
(Graph: Closed dot at $-12$, arrow pointing left along the number line)
