Question

Edmundo used a number line to show the solution for the inequality mc023-1.jpg. Which number line shows the solution?
mc023-2.jpg
mc023-3.jpg
mc023-4.jpg
mc023-5.jpg

Answer 1

I can help, but I don't have the images. Please either

- Paste the inequality text from mc023-1.jpg, or
- Upload the four number-line images (mc023-2.jpg … mc023-5.jpg), or
- Describe the inequality and each number line (where the circles are and which direction is shaded).

If you want to check it yourself, here’s a quick procedure:

1. Solve the inequality algebraically (isolate the variable).
2. Identify any endpoint values and whether they are included:
- use a closed (solid) dot for ≤ or ≥,
- use an open dot for < or >.
3. Determine the direction to shade:
- If inequality is x < a or x ≤ a, shade left of a.
- If x > a or x ≥ a, shade right of a.
4. If it’s a compound inequality (AND), shade only the overlap; if OR, shade both appropriate rays.
5. For inequalities with multiplication/division by a negative number, reverse the inequality sign.

Tell me the inequality or upload the images and I’ll pick the correct number line.
