To solve the inequality \(2x + 5 < 11\), here are the correct steps in order:
Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides. \[ 2x < 11 - 5 \] \[ 2x < 6 \]
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2. \[ x < 3 \]
Step 3: Write the solution in interval notation or on a number line. The solution can be written as \( (-\infty, 3) \).
For Question 2, the number line should show an open circle at 3 and a line extending to the left, indicating that \(x\) can take any value less than 3.
If you have specific number line options, I can help you determine which one correctly represents the solution.
