Let's solve the inequality step by step. The inequality we are given is:

\[ 5x + 2 < -\frac{6x}{5} + 6 \]

Part 1: Solve Algebraically

  1. 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:

    \[ 25x + 10 < -6x + 30 \]

  2. Next, combine like terms. Add \(6x\) to both sides:

    \[ 25x + 6x + 10 < 30 \]

    Which simplifies to:

    \[ 31x + 10 < 30 \]

  3. Subtract 10 from both sides:

    \[ 31x < 20 \]

  4. 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.
