Answer:

The solution to the inequality is X > -3 1/2. On the number line, graph it on -3 1/2. It will be pointing to the right. It is an open circle. Hope this helps!

Explanation:

To graph it onto a number line, you need to solve the equation first. To solve it, do the following steps:

First, we need to divide -6 from 21.

-6x < 21

Since we divided by a negative number, we must change the sign.

X < -3 1/2

Therefore, the answer to the equation would be:

X > -3 1/2

Now, we must graph it on a number line, since we are using the greater than symbol, it will be an open circle. I like to think of it this way, since the greater than symbol is pointing to the right, then we will have the arrow facing the right. It will be graphed on the point -3 1/2. I could not provide a visual.
