Graph x + 7 > 15 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 solve the inequality x + 7 > 15, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality sign.

Subtracting 7 from both sides of the inequality, we get:
x > 15 - 7
x > 8

To graph this inequality on the number line, we will place a closed circle on the number 8 (since x is greater than 8 and not equal to 8) and shade the area to the right of 8.

Here is the graph of the solution:

---------
8 (The number 8 is represented by a closed circle on the number line)

We shade the area to the right of 8 with a blue line.

Answer 2

Left or right

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. The shading should be to the right of the number 8 on the number line since the inequality states that x is greater than 8, indicating a rightward direction.
