Eric is solving the inequality and graphing the solution.
9x+15≥51
Correctly order the steps he used.
The correct order of steps Eric used is as follows:
1. Subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality:
9x + 15 - 15 ≥ 51 - 15
9x ≥ 36
2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 9:
(9x)/9 ≥ 36/9
x ≥ 4
3. Graph the solution on the number line, shading the area to the right of or including the number 4.
4 steps
Apologies for the confusion. Here is the correct order of steps Eric used:
1. Subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality:
9x + 15 - 15 ≥ 51 - 15
9x ≥ 36
2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 9:
(9x)/9 ≥ 36/9
x ≥ 4
3. Graph the solution on the number line, shading the area to the right of or including the number 4.
4. Write the solution as an inequality:
x ≥ 4
3. Plot the given in the solution with a closed circle or open circle
4. Shade to the left or right point of the number line
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. Here is the corrected order of steps Eric used:
1. Subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality:
9x + 15 - 15 ≥ 51 - 15
9x ≥ 36
2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 9:
(9x)/9 ≥ 36/9
x ≥ 4
3. Plot the solution on the number line with a closed circle at the number 4.
4. Shade to the right of the number 4 because the solution is greater than or equal to 4.
