Answer:

x > -6

The solution above is graphed correctly in the last option choice.

Explanation:

We have been given the equation 2x + 3> -9

In order to graph the solution, we must find the value of x

2x + 3 > -9

Subtract three from both sides

-9 - 3 = -12

2x > -12

Divide both sides by 2

x > -6

To determine how to graph the solution, look at the inequality symbol. If the symbol is "greater than" then you would graph the line going left. If it was "less than" than you would graph the line going right.

In our problem, we have the "greater than" symbol which means we will be graphing our line going to the right, and since we start our line from -6 we know the last option is the correct answer.
