Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.
j + 15 > 9
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 15 from both sides of the inequality $j + 15>9$.
$j+15 - 15>9 - 15$

Step2: Simplify the inequality

$j>-6$

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is $j > - 6$. On the number - line, we plot an open circle at - 6 (because the inequality is strict, $j$ cannot equal - 6) and draw a ray to the right of - 6.
