Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. 9 > x - 3 answer attempt 1 out of 2 < > ≤ ≥ or inequality notation: number line: -12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x

Add 3 to both sides of the inequality $9>x - 3$. We get $9+3>x-3 + 3$.
$12>x$ which is equivalent to $x<12$.

Answer:

<, $x<12$
To graph on the number - line: Draw an open circle at 12 (because 12 is not included in the solution set, since the inequality is $x < 12$) and shade the line to the left of 12.
