To solve the inequality \( 6x + 1 < -\frac{3x}{5} + 5 \), we will first simplify the inequality algebraically.
Part 1: Solve the Inequality
-
Start with the original inequality: \[ 6x + 1 < -\frac{3x}{5} + 5 \]
-
To eliminate the fraction, let's first multiply every term by 5 (the denominator): \[ 5(6x) + 5(1) < 5\left(-\frac{3x}{5}\right) + 5(5) \] Which simplifies to: \[ 30x + 5 < -3x + 25 \]
-
Now, we will move all terms involving \( x \) to one side and constant terms to the other side: \[ 30x + 3x < 25 - 5 \] Leading to: \[ 33x < 20 \]
-
Divide both sides by 33: \[ x < \frac{20}{33} \]
Thus, the solution to the inequality is: \[ x < \frac{20}{33} \]
Part 2: Interval Notation
In interval notation, this inequality can be written as: \[ (-\infty, \frac{20}{33}) \]
Part 3: Number Line Graph
We need to choose the appropriate graph for \( x < \frac{20}{33} \). The correct graph would show an open region to the left of \( \frac{20}{33} \) (since it is a "less than" inequality), indicating that all numbers less than \( \frac{20}{33} \) are included.
The only choices we have that represent this are:
- F: An infinite number line with the region shaded to the left of a right parenthesis at \( \frac{20}{33} \).
Summary of the Answers
- The solution as an inequality is: \[ x < \frac{20}{33} \]
- The solution in interval notation is: \[ (-\infty, \frac{20}{33}) \]
- The correct graph of the solution is:
- F: The region to the left of a right parenthesis at \( \frac{20}{33} \) is shaded.
