1 answer

To solve the inequality \( 4x > 10 \), we need to isolate \( x \).

  1. Divide both sides by 4:

    \[ x > \frac{10}{4} \]

    Simplifying this gives:

    \[ x > 2.5 \]

This means the solution to the inequality is all values of \( x \) that are greater than \( 2.5 \).

Now, let's analyze the given graph options:

  1. Option 1: Open point at \( 2.5 \) with a rightward arrow (goes beyond 10) - This represents \( x > 2.5 \).
  2. Option 2: Open point at \( 6 \) with a rightward arrow (goes beyond 10) - This represents \( x > 6 \).
  3. Option 3: Open point at \( 2.5 \) with a leftward arrow (goes beyond negative 10) - This represents \( x < 2.5 \).
  4. Option 4: Open point at \( 6 \) with a leftward arrow (goes beyond negative 10) - This represents \( x < 6 \).

The correct solution graph for the inequality \( x > 2.5 \) is Option 1, which shows an open point at \( 2.5 \) with a rightward arrow indicating all values greater than \( 2.5 \).
