Question

HELP!!! ANSWER SOON!!!! Which graph shows the solution set for 2 x + 3 greater-than negative 9? A number line going from negative 8 to positive 2. An open circle is at negative 3. Everything to the left of the circle is shaded. A number line going from negative 8 to positive 2. An open circle is at negative 3. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded. A number line going from negative 8 to positive 2. An open circle is at negative 6. Everything to the left of the circle is shaded. A number line going from negative 8 to positive 2. An open circle is at negative 6. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded.

Answer 1

We can solve the inequality 2x + 3 > -9 by first subtracting 3, then dividing by 2:

2x > -12

x > -6

This graph should have an open circle at negative 6 (this is a strict inequality, so x cannot equal -6), with everything to the right shaded (since x is greater than -6).
