The symbol used in the inequality would be "<".
Secret
Which statement is true about the number of solutions to an inequality?(1 point)
Bot
It depends on the specific inequality. Some inequalities have infinitely many solutions, some have one solution, and some have no solutions.

None of the options accurately describes the number of solutions of an inequality. As mentioned earlier, the number of solutions varies from inequality to inequality, and it's not related to the number line, inequality symbol, or starting point on the number line. Therefore, the correct option is None of the above.
Secret
An inequality using any of the inequality symbols has an infinite number of solutions. An inequality using all but one of the inequality symbols also has an infinite number of nonsolutions. Which inequality symbol produces an inequality with a finite number of nonsolutions?
Bot
The inequality symbol that produces an inequality with a finite number of nonsolutions is "=" (equals). Since it is not an inequality symbol, its use will result in a statement of equality instead of inequality. Therefore, any equation with "=" will have a finite number of nonsolutions.
