Question

Solve the inequality and then determine which graph is correct. 55 ≤ 24 + x

Answer 1

The answer is C.

(Optional) First, reorder the terms of this inequality so you know what you're working with. (x + 24 ≥ 55)

Subtract 24 on both sides of the ≥ sign.

x ≥ 31

When using either ≤ or ≥, it will be a closed circle on a number line. The direction of the sign acts as an arrow that tells you which direction the line will be going.

Answer 2

C is the answer

Explanation:

24 + x ≥ 55

x ≥ 31

solutions are all values to the right of 31, including 31
