Graph x + 6 < 10 on the number line.

Question

Solve the inequality. The graph the solution using the steps below.
Place the open or closed circle on the number line.
Use the blue line to shade in the correct direction. Adjust the size of the line as needed.
1-20

Answer 1

To graph the inequality x + 6 < 10 on the number line, we will first subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality:

x + 6 - 6 < 10 - 6,
x < 4.

This shows that all values of x that are less than 4 satisfy the inequality.
To graph it on the number line, we will place an open circle on the number 4 and shade the line to the left, indicating that all values less than 4 are solutions to the inequality.
