To solve the inequality, we can start by subtracting 17 from both sides:
-5a + 17 - 17 < 62 - 17
Simplifying, we have:
-5a < 45
Next, divide both sides by -5, remembering to reverse the inequality symbol:
a > 45 / -5
a > -9
To graph this inequality, we start by graphing the equation a = -9, which is a vertical line passing through -9 on the number line. Since the inequality is "a > -9", we need to shade the area to the right of the line to represent all values of a that are greater than -9.
The final graph represents the solution to the inequality −5a + 17 < 62.
Solve and graph the following inequality:
−5a+17<62
