Which of the following shows the graph of the solution to x+1 2/3>4

?(1 point)

1 answer

To solve the inequality \( x + \frac{1}{3} > 4 \), we first isolate \( x \).

  1. Subtract \( \frac{1}{3} \) from both sides: \[ x > 4 - \frac{1}{3} \]

  2. To subtract \( \frac{1}{3} \) from \( 4 \), we can convert \( 4 \) to a fraction: \[ 4 = \frac{12}{3} \] Now, we have: \[ x > \frac{12}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \]

So, the solution to the inequality is: \[ x > \frac{11}{3} \]

On a number line, this would be represented by an open circle at \( \frac{11}{3} \) (approximately \( 3.67 \)) with a shaded line extending to the right, indicating all numbers greater than \( \frac{11}{3} \).

If you need to choose the correct graph representation, look for one that has:

  • An open circle at \( \frac{11}{3} \)
  • A shaded portion extending to the right from that point.
