Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 2x - 13 > 3 \), follow these steps:

### Step 1:
Add 13 to both sides of the inequality:
\[ 2x - 13 + 13 > 3 + 13 \]

This simplifies to:
\[ 2x > 16 \]

### Step 2:
Divide both sides by 2:
\[ \frac{2x}{2} > \frac{16}{2} \]

This simplifies to:
\[ x > 8 \]

### Graph:
Since the solution is \( x > 8 \), the correct graph representation would be:
- **Open circle at 8** (indicating that 8 is not included in the solution)
- **Shade to the right** (indicating all values greater than 8 are included in the solution)

### Summary:
- **Step 1:** Add 13 to both sides
- **Step 2:** Divide both sides by 2
- **Graph:** Open circle, shade right

For Question 2, you should select the graph that has an open circle at 8 and shading to the right.
