We are given a number line graph equivalent to the numbers of the line that are smaller than 8, where 8 is not included since in the graph it is shown with a hollow circle. Therefore, the inequality that represents this graph is the following:


x<8

we may multiply both sides by 2 and we get:


2x<16

Now we can add 9 on both sides:


\begin{gathered} 2x+9<16+9 \\ 2x+9<25 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the graph is the solution to inequality B
