To determine which inequality Nora solved, we need to analyze the number line description.
The open point at 1.75 indicates that the solution does not include this value (hence the "open" point). The leftward arrow suggests that the solutions extend to negative infinity, meaning that the values less than 1.75 are included.
Next, let's evaluate the given inequalities:
-
4x > 7:
- Solving this gives \( x > \frac{7}{4} = 1.75 \), which would indicate values greater than 1.75, not the case here.
-
6x < 10.5:
- Solving this yields \( x < \frac{10.5}{6} = 1.75 \), which matches the description. However, this inequality would not specifically indicate an open circle at 1.75 since it would include everything less than 1.75.
-
1.75x < 3.5:
- Solving this gives \( x < \frac{3.5}{1.75} = 2 \). Again, this does not match as it doesn't lead to anything specifically marked at 1.75.
-
8x > 14:
- Solving this provides \( x > \frac{14}{8} = 1.75 \), which again does not indicate a leftward arrow from an open point at 1.75.
Given the description of the number line with the open circle at 1.75 and the leftward arrow, the most likely correct answer is:
6x < 10.5
This inequality would plot an open circle at 1.75, indicating values less than 1.75, which aligns with the description provided.
