Answer 1

B. second choice

Explanation:

I answered the question on Edge and got it right.

Answer 2

11 <= y -43

Solve for y:

First rewrite so y is on the left side:

Y-43 >= 11

Add 43 to both sides:

Y >=54

Since 54 is included in the answer it would be a solid dot on 54 and the shaded area would cover all numbers greater than 54.

The answer Is:

A number line going from 50 to 60. A solid circle is at 54. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded.
