Solve the inequality 6x+9>57 . Which of the following graphs shows the solution?(1 point)

Responses

A number line is shown ranging from negative 2 to 18 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line at 11. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond negative 2.

To solve the inequality \( 6x + 9 > 57 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 9 from both sides: \[ 6x > 57 - 9 \] \[ 6x > 48 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 6: \[ x > \frac{48}{6} \] \[ x > 8 \]

Now, we have \( x > 8 \). This means the solution includes all values greater than 8.

The correct graph for this solution would show an open point at 8 and a rightward arrow starting from 8, indicating that all numbers greater than 8 are included in the solution.

Among the choices provided, the correct option is: "A number line is shown ranging from negative 2 to 18 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line at 8. A rightward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond 18."
