Question

Which of the following number lines represents the solution for 3x + 12 ≤ 24 ?

*TEST QUESTION*

Answer 1

Option (2)

Explanation:

Given inequality is,

3x + 12 ≤ 24

3x + 12 - 12 ≤ 24 - 12

3x ≤ 12

`(3x)/(3)\leq (12)/(3)`

x ≤ 4

Now we can plot this inequality on a number line.

An arrow starting with a solid point from x = 4 directing towards negative infinity will be the graph on a number line.

Therefore, Option (2) will be the correct option.
