Select the correct graph of the inequality below.

Question

x<3
𝑥
<
3

(1 point)

Answer 1

To graph the inequality \( x < 3 \):

1. Draw a number line.
2. Locate the point \( 3 \) on the number line.
3. Since the inequality is \( x < 3 \) (not including 3), use an open circle at the point \( 3 \) to indicate that \( 3 \) itself is not included in the solution.
4. Shade the region to the left of \( 3 \) to show that \( x \) can take any value less than \( 3 \).

If you have multiple options for graphs, you need to choose the one that has an open circle at \( 3 \) and shaded to the left.
