Weston solved an equality and graphed the solution on the number line

1 answer

It seems like you're referencing a scenario where Weston has solved an equation or inequality and then represented the solution graphically on a number line. To help you further, I'll provide a general example of how one might solve a simple inequality, graph the solution, and explain the process.

Example: Solving an Inequality

Let's say Weston solved the inequality:

\[ 2x - 3 < 5 \]

Step 1: Solve the Inequality

  1. Add 3 to both sides: \[ 2x < 8 \]

  2. Divide both sides by 2: \[ x < 4 \]

Step 2: Graph the Solution on a Number Line

To graph the solution \( x < 4 \) on a number line:

  1. Draw a horizontal line and mark a point labeled "4".
  2. Since the inequality is "less than" (and not "less than or equal to"), use an open circle at 4 to indicate that 4 is not included in the solution set.
  3. Shade the portion of the line to the left of 4 to represent all numbers less than 4.

Conclusion

Weston has represented all solutions to the inequality graphically, indicating that any number less than 4 satisfies the original inequality. If you have a specific problem or different inequality in mind that Weston solved and graphed, please provide that, and I can help you with more tailored steps and illustrations!
