Based on the information provided, it seems that Josie solved the inequality:
x + 0.5 < 3.
Josie solved an inequality and graphed the solution on the number line. Which of the following inequalities did she solve? (1 point) Responses x−1.25≥1.25 x minus 1 point 2 5 is greater than or equal to 1 point 2 5 x−1.25≥1.25 x minus 1 point 2 5 is greater than or equal to 1 point 2 5 x+1.25≥1.25 x plus 1 point 2 5 is greater than or equal to 1 point 2 5 x+0.5<3 x+0.5<3
On the number line it is a closed circle right between 2 and 3. This means it is on 2.5. The line goes to the right going over ten and on and on.

That is simply impossible because then the arrow would go left and it would not be a closed circle but open.
Apologies for the incorrect response earlier. You are correct that if x + 0.5 < 3, the arrow would go towards the left and the circle would be open, not closed.
Given the description of the number line graph with a closed circle between 2 and 3, the correct inequality that Josie solved would be:
x - 1.25 ≥ 1.25.
Given the description of the number line graph with a closed circle between 2 and 3, the correct inequality that Josie solved would be:
x - 1.25 ≥ 1.25.
