m + 0.5 ≥ 0.5 m + 0.5 ≥ 0.5

m + 5 ≥ 6m + 5 ≥ 6

m − 0.5 ≤ 0.5m − 0.5 ≤ 0.5

m − 1 > 0

Answer 1

To determine which inequality Weston solved based on his graph, you would need to analyze the properties of the inequalities provided and the characteristics of their graphs.

1. **\( m + 0.5 ≥ 0.5 \)**:
- Rearranging gives \( m ≥ 0 \). This means the graph would start from 0 and shade to the right, including 0.

2. **\( m + 5 ≥ 6 \)**:
- Rearranging gives \( m ≥ 1 \). The graph would start from 1 and shade to the right, including 1.

3. **\( m − 0.5 ≤ 0.5 \)**:
- Rearranging gives \( m ≤ 1 \). The graph would start from 1 and shade to the left, including 1.

4. **\( m − 1 > 0 \)**:
- Rearranging gives \( m > 1 \). The graph would start just above 1 and shade to the right, not including 1.

To choose the correct option, observe the graph and identify the key characteristics:

- If the graph includes 1 and shades to the right, it aligns with either the first option or the second.
- If the graph includes 1 and shades to the left, it aligns with the third option.
- If the graph starts just above 1 and shades to the right, it aligns with the fourth option.

Without the specific image, I recommend using the provided descriptions to match against the visual result shown in the number line. Based on that, select the option that accurately describes the inequality Weston solved.
