Question

Which graph represents the solution set for p + 3.6 < −5.8?

Answer 1

Step-by-step use the number line numbers to help u better and where is the p?

Answer 2

the first one

Explanation:

First, solve the equation:

p + 3.6
`<` -5.8

do the inverse (opposite) of 3.6 which is -3.6 to both sides, like an equation.

p + 3.6 < -5.8

-3.6 -3.6

the 3.6s cross out on the left side. On the right side you are left with 9.4. This is your final inequality:

p < -9.4

Next plot your inequality.

Start by putting a point at -9.4 and not filling it in, because there is no possibility that p could equal -9.4.

Next check your sign. This is a less than sign so your possible number couldn't be more than -9.4. You would shade it to the left, because all the numbers on that side of the number line are less than -9.4.

Hope this helps!!!
