Question

solve the inequality.
4x < 14
solution:
graph the solution.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable x.

Divide both sides of the inequality $4x < 14$ by 4. We get $x<\frac{14}{4}=\frac{7}{2} = 3.5$.

Answer:

$x < 3.5$
To graph the solution: On the number - line, we use an open circle at 3.5 (because the inequality is strict, i.e., $x$ is less than but not equal to 3.5) and draw an arrow to the left to represent all the values of $x$ that satisfy the inequality.
