To solve the inequality \(2.4x - 6 > -13.2\), you can follow these steps:
1. **Add 6 to both sides**:
\[
2.4x > -13.2 + 6
\]
\[
2.4x > -7.2
\]
2. **Divide both sides by 2.4**:
\[
x > \frac{-7.2}{2.4}
\]
\[
x > -3
\]
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is \(x > -3\).
### Representing on a Number Line
- On a number line, you would represent \(x > -3\) with a ray starting from -3 and extending to the right.
- The endpoint at -3 should be represented as an open circle (or point) because -3 is not included in the solution.
### Steps to Click:
1. Select the ray that starts from -3 and goes to the right.
2. Click on the location on the number line where the endpoint (the open circle) is at -3.
This visual representation indicates that all values greater than -3 are included in the solution set.
1. **Add 6 to both sides**:
\[
2.4x > -13.2 + 6
\]
\[
2.4x > -7.2
\]
2. **Divide both sides by 2.4**:
\[
x > \frac{-7.2}{2.4}
\]
\[
x > -3
\]
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is \(x > -3\).
