Answers
GPT 3.5
The inequality t - 9 < 27 can be simplified as follows:
t < 36
On the number line, we would start at 0 and count up to 36, excluding 36. So the number line should start at 0 and end just before 36, with an open circle indicating that 36 is not included in the solution.
The best representation of this solution is:
[0, 36)
