Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.\\(u < 3 + 6\\)\
to draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the right-hand side

$u < 3 + 6$
$u < 9$

Step2: Graph the inequality

• Plot an open circle at $u=9$ (since the inequality is strict, not inclusive).
• Draw a ray pointing left from 9, representing all values less than 9.

Answer:

The solved inequality is $\boldsymbol{u < 9}$. For the graph: mark an open endpoint at 9 on the number line, then draw an arrow pointing left from this endpoint to represent all values of $u$ that satisfy the inequality.
