Question

Solve the inequality and graph the solution.
3j–7≥–13
To draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Answer 1

to the left or right

Answer 2

To solve the inequality 3j - 7 ≥ -13, we will first isolate j.

Adding 7 to both sides of the inequality, we get:

3j - 7 + 7 ≥ -13 + 7
3j ≥ -6

Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 3:

(3j)/3 ≥ (-6)/3
j ≥ -2

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is j ≥ -2.

To graph this solution on a number line, we will draw a ray starting from -2 and extending towards positive infinity. Since the inequality is greater than or equal to -2, we will plot a closed circle at -2 and draw an arrow to the right to indicate that the ray continues indefinitely.

Here is how the graph should look like:

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. The graph should extend to the right, indicating numbers that are greater or equal to -2. Therefore, the arrow should point to the right.
