Answer: Last option
The number -8.4 is a solution to the inequality because -8.4 is located to the left of
on the number line.
Explanation:
Note that:
![-3(1)/(4) =-3-(1)/(4) =-3.25](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/college/ghquajbm0ff3qzx9dst5obdqiqk10zxcsq.png)
The inequality is:
![k<-3 (1)/(4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/college/ligbo1lrtggngam2sy36ohgaduo51ublt5.png)
The inequality is:
This means that the inequality includes all values of the number line that are less than -3.25 or that are to the left of -3.25
__-8.4_________-3.25_-3____0___0.9____________7.1__
Note that the number -8.4 is less than -3.25, because it is to its left on the number line.
Then the correct statement is:
The number -8.4 is a solution to the inequality because -8.4 is located to the left of
on the number line.
