To solve the inequality -2x + 8 + 5x > -10, you need to simplify it and find the solution for x.
Let's start by combining like terms:
3x + 8 > -10
Next, we can isolate x by subtracting 8 from both sides of the inequality:
3x > -10 - 8
3x > -18
Finally, we divide both sides of the inequality by 3 to solve for x:
x > -18/3
x > -6
So, the solution to the inequality -2x + 8 + 5x > -10 is x > -6.
solve the inequality
-2x+8+5x>-10

should the point be open or closed
Where is the shading Left Or Right
Where is the shading Left Or Right
The shading in this case should be to the right of -6 on a number line. Since the inequality is "x > -6", the solution includes all values greater than -6 but does not include -6 itself. Therefore, the point at -6 should be an open circle to indicate that it is not part of the solution set.
