Answer:


x<(6)/(5)

Refer to picture for number line

Explanation:

To solve this inequality, we want to isolate the variable. We can do this my getting like terms onto one side


6x-7<2-(3x)/(2) [add both sides by 7]


6x<9-(3x)/(2) [add both sides by 3x/2]


6x+(3x)/(2)<9 [multiply both sides by 2]


12x+3x<18 [add]


15x<18 [divide both sides by 15]


x<(18)/(15) [simplify]


x<(6)/(5)

Now that we have out inequality, we want to graph it. Since we know that
x<(6)/(5), that means we have an open circle. Since x is less than, the arrow would be pointing left.
