Question

Which graph represents the solution set of the inequality Negative 14.5 less-than x?
A number line going from negative 15 to negative 11. An open circle is at negative 13.5. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded.
A number line going from negative 15 to negative 11. A closed circle is at negative 14. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded.

Answer 1

The third graph. Because -14.5 < x is a strict inequality, use an open circle at -14.5 and shade everything to the right (x > -14.5).
