Question

question. solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided. 2x - 45 < -53. answer attempt 1 out of a. < > ≤ ≥ or. inequality notation: blank. number line: number - line image with numbers from - 12 to 12 and an arrow to the right.

Explanation:

Step1: Add 45 to both sides

$2x-45 + 45< - 53+45$
$2x<-8$

Step2: Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}<\frac{-8}{2}$
$x < - 4$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x < - 4$
Number Line: An open - circle at - 4 and an arrow pointing to the left.
