1.) A number line from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 4 and a bold line starts at 4 and is pointing to the left.
2.) A number line from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 4 and a bold line starts at 4 and is pointing to the right.
3.) A number line from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 2 and a bold line starts at 4 and is pointing to the left.
4.) A number line from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. An open circle is at 2 and a bold line starts at 4 and is pointing to the right.

Answer 1

x <2

Explanation:

2.5 – 1.2x < 6.5 – 3.2x

Add 3.2x to each side

2.5 – 1.2x+3.2x < 6.5 – 3.2x+3.2x

2.5 +2x < 6.5

Subtract 2.5 from each side

2.5+2x-2.5<6.5-2.5

2x<4

Divide by 2

2x/2 < 4/2

x <2
