Solve for xx and graph the solution on the number line below.

3≥x−5

3 answers

To solve for xx in the inequality 3 ≥ x − 5, we'll first isolate xx by performing the same operation on both sides. In this case, we'll add 5 to both sides to get the xx by itself:

3 + 5 ≥ x − 5 + 5

This simplifies to:

8 ≥ x

Or rewritten in a more conventional way:

x ≤ 8

This inequality states that xx can be any number less than or equal to 8.

To graph this on a number line, we represent all the numbers less than or equal to 8. This is typically done by drawing a solid circle or dot on the number 8 (to include the number 8 in the solution) and drawing an arrow or line extending to the left to show that all numbers less than 8 are also included.

The representation would look like this:

```
_____________________________________
...|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|____|_____|...
... 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
```

The filled circle is at 8, and the line extends to the left, indicating that any number to the left of 8 on the number line is a solution to the inequality.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to provide a graphical representation within this text-based interface, but the description above should help you visualize how to draw the solution on a number line.
it didnt can you create a different one?
My apologies for any confusion. Let me clarify the graphical representation with a text-based version:

```
Number line:

<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
... 4 5 6 7 [8] 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ...
```

In the text-based number line above, [8] represents the point at which the solid circle would be, including the number 8 in the solution set. The arrow pointing to the left ("<---") indicates that all values to the left of 8 are also solutions to the inequality x ≤ 8.

This represents all numbers less than or equal to 8. In an actual graphical representation, instead of the brackets around 8, you would see a filled dot, and the line to the left of it would be solid, extending towards negative infinity to cover all values less than 8.
