Solve the inequality and graph the solution.

s–2>6
Plot the endpoints. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the segment, ray, or line to delete it.

1 answer

To solve the inequality \( s - 2 > 6 \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Isolate \( s \): \[ s - 2 > 6 \] Add 2 to both sides: \[ s > 6 + 2 \] Simplifying the right side gives: \[ s > 8 \]

  2. Graph the solution: The solution \( s > 8 \) means all numbers greater than 8.

  • We will plot an open circle at the point \( s = 8 \) to indicate that 8 is not included in the solution.
  • We will then shade to the right of 8 to represent all numbers greater than 8.

Here is a rough representation of the graph:

      8

In this graph:

  • The 'o' at 8 indicates that it is an open endpoint (not included).
  • The line shows that the solutions go to the right of 8, representing all values greater than 8.

So, the solution to the inequality \( s - 2 > 6 \) is \( s > 8 \), and it is represented graphically with an open circle at 8 and shading to the right.
