The correct answer is:
d. x≤ − 9
To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x.
The given inequality is x/3 ≤ −3.
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 3:
(x/3) * 3 ≤ (-3) * 3
This simplifies to:
x ≤ -9
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x≤ -9.
To graph this on a number line, we draw a closed dot on -9 and shade everything to the left of it to represent all the values of x that are less than or equal to -9. The resulting graph is a line with a closed dot on -9 and the shading to the left of it.
