Question

Solve the inequality and graph the solution.
7q+8>
–
6
To draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Answer 1

Solve: 7q + 8 > -6

Step 1: subtract 8 from both sides:
7q > -6 - 8
7q > -14

Step 2: divide both sides by 7:
q > -2

Solution: q > -2 (interval notation: (-2, ∞)).

Graph: a number line with an open circle at -2 and a ray/arrow pointing to the right from -2.
