Question

Choose the correct description of the graph of the inequality x − 3 < 5. (5 points)

Answer 1

The correct description for the graph of the inequality is : B. Closed circle on 8, shading to the left

Using the expression given :

• x - 3 <= 5

We can solve for x thus ;

x - 3 <= 5

Add 3 to both sides to isolate x

x - 3 + 3 <= 5 + 3

x <= 8

Since ;

• x >= (closed cirle and shading will be to the left)
• 8 (put circle on 8)

Therefore , the correct description is : B.
