Solve the inequality 9.5x−1.25<32 . Which of the following graphs shows the solution?(1 point)

Responses

A number line is shown ranging from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. A closed point is plotted on the number line between 3 and 4. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the closed point and goes beyond negative 10.

To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x.

Starting with the given inequality:

9.5x - 1.25 < 32

Add 1.25 to both sides:

9.5x < 33.25

Divide both sides by 9.5:

x < 3.5

From the number line options given, the correct graph would be:

A number line is shown ranging from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. A closed point is plotted on the number line between 3 and 4. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the closed point and goes beyond negative 10.

This represents all values of x less than 3.5, including the value 3.5.
