Question

can someone please help ? i know one of the answers is c but couldn’t b and d also work ? when you figure them out you get x is less than 10 as well.

Answer 1

The open circle tells us that the sign is only less than/greater than, not less than/greater than or equal to. That immediately rules out A.

Now, we can see that this is a less than inequality, because the arrow is pointing to the left, toward the negative numbers. And, the inequality covers every number that is less than 10.

A - Incorrect, less than or equal to

B - Correct, when solved = x < 10

C - Correct

D - Correct, when solved = x < 10

E - Incorrect, when solved = x < 13

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

b,c,d

Explanation:

a ≤ 10 would have a closed circle at 10

b x+10 <15 x < 10 correct open circle line going to left

c x < 10 correct open circle line going to left

d 0 > x-10 10 > x x < 10 correct open circle line going to left

e 2 > x-11 13 > x would have open circle at 13
