Answer 1

To address the first part of your question regarding the inequality \( 35 < 7x \):

1. Open or Closed Circle: You would use an open circle because the inequality does not include equality (it’s a "less than" rather than "less than or equal to").

2. Arrow Direction: The arrow on the number line would point to the right. This is because you're solving for \( x \) in the inequality; when you manipulate the inequality (by dividing both sides by \( 7 \)), you get \( x > 5 \).

For Question 10, let's analyze the inequalities you've provided to match them with their graphed solutions:

1. \(-5(x + 5) > -15\):

   • Solving:
     • Distribute: \(-5x - 25 > -15\)
     • Add 25: \(-5x > 10\)
     • Divide by -5 (remember to flip the inequality sign): \(x < -2\)

2. \(-3(x - 12) > 0\):

   • Solving:
     • Distribute: \(-3x + 36 > 0\)
     • Subtract 36: \(-3x > -36\)
     • Divide by -3 (flip the inequality): \(x < 12\)

3. \((1/4)(8x + 16) > -4\):

   • Solving:
     • Multiply by 4: \(8x + 16 > -16\)
     • Subtract 16: \(8x > -32\)
     • Divide by 8: \(x > -4\)

4. \(8x < 4x + 28\):

   • Solving:
     • Subtract \(4x\): \(4x < 28\)
     • Divide by 4: \(x < 7\)

Now we can match the inequalities with their graphs based on the gathered information:

• \(-5(x + 5) > -15\): Corresponds to \(x < -2\)
• \(-3(x - 12) > 0\): Corresponds to \(x < 12\)
• \((1/4)(8x + 16) > -4\): Corresponds to \(x > -4\)
• \(8x < 4x + 28\): Corresponds to \(x < 7\)

You can match these inequalities with their respective graphs based on the information above!
