Question

Solve and graph the inequality
6r + 17 > -1

Answer 1

For this case we have the following inequality:

`6r + 17> -1`

We subtract 17 from both sides of the inequality:

`6r> -1-17`

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.

`6r> -18`

We divide by 6 on both sides of the inequality:

`r> \frac {-18} {6}\\r> -3`

Thus, the solution is given by all values of r greater than -3.

Answer:

`r> -3`
