Solve the inequality and graph the solution.

Question

15s + 17 < 2

Answer 1

To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable s by subtracting 17 from both sides of the equation.

15s + 17 - 17 < 2 - 17
15s < -15

Next, we divide both sides by 15 to solve for s.

15s/15 < -15/15
s < -1

The solution to the inequality is s < -1.

To graph the solution, we can plot a number line and mark -1 with an open circle. Then, shade to the left to represent all values of s that are less than -1.

-2 -1 0 1 2
