Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below.
x - 9 ≤ -4
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 x

Add 9 to both sides of the inequality $x - 9\leq - 4$.
$x-9 + 9\leq - 4+9$

Step2: Simplify

$x\leq5$

Answer:

$\leq$
$x\leq5$
To graph on the number - line: Place a closed circle at 5 (because the inequality is $\leq$) and draw a line to the left of 5.
