Graph the solution set for the inequality: −3x+1≤−47 (1 point) Responses Skip to navigation

1 answer

In order to graph the solution set for the inequality −3x + 1 ≤ −47, we need to first solve for x.

−3x + 1 ≤ −47

Subtract 1 from both sides:
−3x ≤ −48

Next, divide both sides by −3, but remember if you divide by a negative number, the inequality sign must be flipped:

x ≥ 16

To graph the solution set for this inequality, we need to shade all the values of x that are greater than or equal to 16 on the number line. This can be represented as a shaded line to the right of 16.

The graph of the solution set would look like this:

<-------------(=======>
16

The shaded region to the right of 16 represents all the values of x that satisfy the inequality −3x + 1 ≤ −47.
