Question

question solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided. 3x + 17 < 26 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 the term with x

Subtract 17 from both sides of the inequality $3x + 17<26$.
$3x+17 - 17<26 - 17$
$3x<9$

Step2: Solve for x

Divide both sides of the inequality $3x < 9$ by 3.
$\frac{3x}{3}<\frac{9}{3}$
$x < 3$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x<3$
Number Line: On the number - line, you would draw an open circle at 3 (since the inequality is strict, $x$ cannot equal 3) and shade the line to the left of 3 to represent all the values of $x$ that satisfy the inequality.
