Question

Weston solved an inequality and graphed the solution on the number line. Which of the following inequalities did he solve?
(1 point)
x + 5 ≥ 6
x + 0.5 ≥ 0.5
x − 1 > 0
x − 0.5 ≤ 0.5

Answer 1

I don’t see the number-line graph — can you upload or describe it? Without it I can’t pick the matching inequality, but here are the solution sets for each choice so you can match to the graph:

- x + 5 ≥ 6 → x ≥ 1 (closed dot at 1, arrow to the right)
- x + 0.5 ≥ 0.5 → x ≥ 0 (closed dot at 0, arrow to the right)
- x − 1 > 0 → x > 1 (open dot at 1, arrow to the right)
- x − 0.5 ≤ 0.5 → x ≤ 1 (closed dot at 1, arrow to the left)

Tell me which graph you see (location of dot and whether it’s open/closed and direction), and I’ll pick the correct inequality.
