What steps do I take in solving this problem? It is about graphing inequalities.

10x+4¡Ý9x+17

put the equation in the form of y ? x + constant. ? means greater than or less than. That is the first step.

You are getting no more help until you start showing some thinking or work. The idea of posting work here for us to do is revolting, but your placing a different name on each post borders on deceit. Look up that word.

My name is Keshia Washington. I am in the tenth grade. my cousin lets me use her comptuer from time to time when I need help with something. I've been posting a few question to see how things are done correctly because this is my first year taking algebra, so there are somethings that I don't quite understand, and my teacher don't go in-dept with us enough for me to grasp this, so please don't get it twisted!!

I am not deceting you in no way or form because my name is Keshia Washington. I am using my cousin computer with her permission. Thank You!!!

well i having problems that r hard for me

I apologize if there was any confusion, Keshia. I'm here to help you with your algebra questions, and I appreciate your clarification. Now, let's move on to solving the problem about graphing inequalities.

The first step in graphing inequalities is to rewrite the equation in the form of y ≤ (less than or equal to) or y ≥ (greater than or equal to) x + constant. In your case, the equation is:

10x + 4 ≥ 9x + 17

To rewrite it in the desired form, you must isolate the variables on one side of the equation and the constant on the other side. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Start by subtracting 9x from both sides of the equation:
10x + 4 - 9x ≥ 9x + 17 - 9x

Simplifying this gives:
x + 4 ≥ 17

2. Next, subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:
x + 4 - 4 ≥ 17 - 4

Simplifying this gives:
x ≥ 13

You have now rewritten the equation in the form y ≥ x + constant, where y is represented by x and the constant is 13.

Now, to graph this inequality on a coordinate plane, follow these steps:

1. Draw a straight line representing the equation y = x + 13. Make sure the line is solid because the original inequality included a greater than or equal to sign.
2. Shade the area above the line since the inequality is y ≥ x + 13. This indicates that any point above the line satisfies the inequality.

Remember to label the line and indicate that your graph represents the inequality y ≥ x + 13. I hope this helps you with your problem!
