Solve the inequality 6x+9>57 tell me is it the 1st graph second graph or the third gragj or the 4rth gragh?

. Which of the following graphs shows the solution?(1 point)

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 leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond negative 2.

To solve the inequality \(6x + 9 > 57\), we first isolate \(x\):

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

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

This means that the solution to the inequality is all values of \(x\) that are greater than 8.

Looking at the graph options described, the correct graph would be the one that marks an open point at 8 with a rightward arrow indicating all values greater than 8.

Based on your descriptions, the correct response is:

4th graph: 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.
