Question

So confused some one help

Answer 1

-2 (filled in circle) to 7 (open circle)

Explanation:

for the first equation x must be the equal to or smaller than 6. so -3(-2) equals 6 but anything less than -2, let's say -3(-3), will be BIGGER than six, so -2 including -2 which is a filled in circle.

solving it:

-3(x)
`\leq` 6

`(-3x)/(-3) \leq (6)/(-3)`

`x\leq -2`

for the second equation x must be smaller than 17. so first you take out + 3 by subtracting it, leaving the equation as 2x<14. 2(7)<14 is NOT true so anything bigger than 7 leaves it as true because 6.98934747483 can still make it true, so anything smaller than 7 which is 7 with a not filled in, or open, circle

solving it:

`2x + 3 (- 3) < 17 (- 3)`

2x < 14

`(2x)/(2) <(14)/(2)`

x < 7

my explanation is all over the place, but hope this helps!!!
