We are to solve an inequality and give the answer in graph form.

The inequality is:


6-5+n\ge\text{ 18}

Let's solve for n in order to be able to answer the question.

we start by trying to isolate n on one side of the inequality symbol. So first combine 6-5 = 1 and re-write the inequality:


1+n\ge18
\begin{gathered} n\ge18-1=17 \\ n\ge17 \end{gathered}

Now, subtract 1 from both sides, and you get the final answer:

n must be larger than or equal to 17. WHich agrees with the first answer option provided by the problem.
