Weston solved an inequality and graphed the solution on the number line. Which of the following inequalities did he solve?

(1 point)

x + 5 >= 6

x - 1 > 0

x + 0.5 >= 0.5

x - 0.5 < 0.5

1 answer

To find the inequality that Weston solved, let's analyze the given number line graph. The numbers are arranged in ascending order, so the inequality should also follow the same pattern.

Looking at the number line graph, we can see that the number 10 is at the beginning, followed by 9, 8, 7, and so on until 2, then there is a jump to the number 10, and finally, the number 5 is at the end.

This indicates that the solution lies on the interval from 2 to 10, inclusive. Since the numbers are on the closed circles representing inclusion, the inequality should also contain the equal sign.

Therefore, the inequality that Weston solved is:

2 ≤ x ≤ 10
