Question

Write the sentence as an inequality. Graph the inequality. A number x is at least -3 and at most 9.

a.5 b. 3 c. 3>x>9
d. 4>x>9

Answer 1

The inequality is written as -3 ≥ x ≥ 9, and the graph of this inequality is in the image at the end.

How to write this inequality?

Here we have the sentence " A number x is at least -3 and at most 9"

So, the smallest value that x can be is -3, and the largest value that it can get is 9, so the inequality can be written as:

-3 ≥ x ≥ 9

To graph this we need a number line, we will have closed circles at -3 and 9, and a line that connects these two closed circles. The graph can be seen in the image below.
