Solve the inequality: z/3 < 17

Question

Graph the solution.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality z/3 < 17, we need to multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 to isolate z.

z/3 < 17
(z/3) * 3 < 17 * 3
z < 51

The solution to the inequality is z < 51.

To graph this solution, we can draw a number line and mark a closed circle at 51 to indicate that 51 is not included in the solution. Then, draw an arrow to the left to show that the values less than 51 are included in the solution.
