Graph the solution set for the inequality: -3x + 1 < -47

Answer 1

To graph the solution set for the inequality -3x + 1 < -47, we need to solve the inequality and plot the solution on a number line.

First, let's solve the inequality:

-3x + 1 < -47

Subtract 1 from both sides:

-3x < -48

Divide both sides by -3, remembering to reverse the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number:

x > 16

The solution set is all values of x that are greater than 16. We will represent this on a number line by shading to the right of 16.
