use the drawing tools to form the correct answer on the number line. graph the solution set to this inequality. 3x - 11 > 7x + 9
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Move like - terms
Subtract (3x) from both sides: (3x - 11-3x>7x + 9-3x), which simplifies to (-11 > 4x+9).
Step2: Isolate the term with (x)
Subtract 9 from both sides: (-11 - 9>4x+9 - 9), getting (-20>4x).
Step3: Solve for (x)
Divide both sides by 4: (\frac{-20}{4}>\frac{4x}{4}), so (x < - 5).
Answer:
On the number - line, use the open - point tool to mark a point at (-5) and the ray tool to draw a ray to the left of (-5).
