Answer:

See the attachment

Explanation:

The inequalities resolve to ...

x ≥ 1 or x ≤ -3

You have chosen the correct placement of the lines on the number line. The "or equal to" symbol (≥ or ≤) means the dots at -3 and +1 are filled in, indicating those numbers are part of the solution.

If the ">" or "<" symbol is used in the inequality, the dot is left open, as in the answer you selected. The open dot indicates that value is not part of the solution set.
