Answer:

x < 2

Explanation:

Let's actually solve the given inequality 3x + 1 < 7. First we want to combine the constants into one: 3x < 6. Solving for x, we get x < 2.

The graph you have chosen as your answer is correct. x does not equal 2, but rather is less than 2, as the given inequality states. Since x is less than 2, we start at the (open) circle at 2 and move to the left.
