Let's solve the inequality step by step. The inequality we are given is:
\[ 5x + 2 < -\frac{6x}{5} + 6 \]
Part 1: Solve Algebraically
-
Start by eliminating the fraction. We can multiply the entire inequality by 5 (which is positive, so the direction of the inequality remains the same):
\[ 5(5x + 2) < 5\left(-\frac{6x}{5} + 6\right) \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 25x + 10 < -6x + 30 \]
-
Next, combine like terms. Add \(6x\) to both sides:
\[ 25x + 6x + 10 < 30 \]
Which simplifies to:
\[ 31x + 10 < 30 \]
-
Subtract 10 from both sides:
\[ 31x < 20 \]
-
Divide by 31 (which is positive, so the direction of the inequality remains the same):
\[ x < \frac{20}{31} \]
So the solution as an inequality is:
\[ x < \frac{20}{31} \]
Part 2: Interval Notation
In interval notation, this is expressed as:
\[ (-\infty, \frac{20}{31}) \]
Part 3: Number Line Graph
To represent the solution on a number line, you would shade to the left of \(\frac{20}{31}\) pointing out that this is an open interval (not including \(\frac{20}{31}\)).
Now among the options provided:
- Since we are shading to the left of \(\frac{20}{31}\) with a right parenthesis (indicating that \(\frac{20}{31}\) is not included), the correct option would be:
C. An infinite number line, labeled from 0 to 1, has tick marks in increments of StartFraction 1 Over 31 EndFraction. The region to the left of a right bracket at StartFraction 20 Over 31 EndFraction is shaded.
To summarize:
-
Part 1: \[ x < \frac{20}{31} \]
-
Part 2: \[ (-\infty, \frac{20}{31}) \]
-
Part 3 selection: C.
