Josie solved an inequality and graphed the solution on the number line. Which of the following inequalities did she solve

Number line: -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 (2.5) 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Shading starts at 2.5, Closed circle, And goes to the right

Answers:

A. x-1.25 ≥ 1.25
B. x-1.25 ≥ 1.25
C. x+1.25 ≥ 1.25
D. X+0.5<3

1 answer

The correct answer is A) x-1.25 ≥ 1.25.

This is because Josie graphed the solution as shading to the right of a closed circle at 2.5. This means that the solution includes all values greater than or equal to 2.5.

Looking at the inequality options:
A) x-1.25 ≥ 1.25
B) x-1.25 ≥ 1.25
C) x+1.25 ≥ 1.25
D) X+0.5<3

Only option A) x-1.25 ≥ 1.25 satisfies the condition of shading to the right of 2.5.
