Math Problem Statement
Solve and graph the solution to each of the inequslities
Solve and graph the solution to the inequality x + 3 ≤ 2.
Solution
The image shows the inequality . Let's solve this inequality and then graph the solution.
Solution:
- Start with the inequality:
- Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate :
So, the solution to the inequality is .
Graphing the solution:
- The graph of this inequality consists of all values of that are less than or equal to .
- On a number line:
- Draw a solid dot at to represent that is included in the solution.
- Shade all values to the left of (indicating ).
Would you like me to graph this on a number line, or would you like more details on any step?
Here are 5 related questions for practice:
- How would the solution change if the inequality was ?
- What happens if you multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number?
- How do you solve the inequality ?
- What is the graphical difference between and ?
- Can inequalities have multiple solutions, and how would you graph such cases?
Tip: When solving inequalities, always reverse the inequality sign if you multiply or divide by a negative number.
