Question

3x + 9 > -18

A. Translate the inequality into written language.
B. Find the solution set of x and describe how you would graph it on a number line.

Answer 1

The written form would be "Nine more than three times a number is greater than -18.

Explanation:

To graph it, you must first solve for x.

3x + 9 > -18

3x > -27

x > -9

Now we can graph this by putting an open dot at -9 and then drawing an arrow to the right.
