Use the image to answer the question.

A number line ranges from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line at 1.75. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open circle and goes beyond negative 10.

Nora solved an inequality and graphed the solution on the number line. Which of the following inequalities did she solve?

4x>7

4 x greater than 7

1.75x<3.5

1.75 x less than 3.5

8x>14

8 x greater than 14

6x<10.5

Answer 1

6x < 10.5

Divide both sides by 6 (positive), giving x < 10.5/6 = 1.75. That matches an open circle at 1.75 with the solution extending left.
