Question

solve the inequality. j + 1.7 < -2.1 inequality: blank graph the solution.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable j

Subtract 1.7 from both sides of the inequality $j + 1.7<-2.1$.
$j+1.7 - 1.7<-2.1 - 1.7$

Step2: Calculate the right - hand side value

$-2.1-1.7=-3.8$, so $j < - 3.8$

Answer:

Inequality: $j < - 3.8$
The graph of the solution is an open - circle at $-3.8$ and an arrow pointing to the left.
