Question

Which graph in the picture that is shown shows the solution to the inequality?

x + 2 < -3

A)

B)

C)

D)

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Subtracting 2 from the inequality gives ...

... x < -5

The less than symbol (<) means the dot at -5 will be open (not filled). Graph A has this characteristic. The line is shaded to the left to indicate that values less than -5 are in the solution set.
