Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. A closed circle is marked on the tick line above 1. A line is drawn from 1 toward 10 with an arrow at the end.

x+5≥6

x plus 5 greater-than-or-equal-to 6

x−0.5≤0.5

x minus 0.5 less-than-or-equal-to 0.5

x+0.5≥0.5

x plus 0.5 greater-than-or-equal-to 0.5

x−1>0

Answer 1

x + 5 ≥ 6

Reason: x + 5 ≥ 6 simplifies to x ≥ 1, which matches the graph (closed circle at 1 and arrow to the right). The others simplify to x ≤ 1, x ≥ 0, and x > 1, respectively.
