Math Problem Statement

List all of the integer values that x could take that would satisfy the inequality shown on the number line below.

Solution

To solve the problem, we analyze the number line and the interval represented by the two points:

  1. The filled circle at 3-3 indicates that x=3x = -3 is included in the solution.
  2. The open circle at 00 means x=0x = 0 is not included in the solution.
  3. The line between 3-3 and 00 shows that all values between them (but not including 00) are part of the solution.

Thus, the inequality can be written as:

3x<0-3 \leq x < 0

Integer solutions:

The integer values of xx that satisfy this inequality are:

3,2,1-3, -2, -1


Would you like a more detailed explanation, or clarification about this type of inequality?

Tip: Always check whether the endpoints (open or filled circles) are included when solving inequalities on a number line.
