Subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality and then divide both sides of the inequality by 9.
Subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality and then divide both sides of the inequality by 9.
Divide both sides of the inequality by 9 and then subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality.
Divide both sides of the inequality by 9 and then subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality.
Subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality and then multiply both sides of the inequality by 9.
Subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality and then multiply both sides of the inequality by 9.
Divide both sides of the inequality by 9 and then add 15 to both sides of the inequality.
Divide both sides of the inequality by 9 and then add 15 to both sides of the inequality.

Eric would plot the point given in the solution on the number line with a(n)
circle and shade to the
of the point on the number line.
The correct steps Eric should take using inverse operations to solve the inequality are:
1. Subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality.
2. Divide both sides of the inequality by 9.
Therefore, the correct response for the first question is: Subtract 15 from both sides of the inequality and then divide both sides of the inequality by 9.
For the second question, Eric would plot the point given in the solution on the number line with a closed circle (representing the point) and shade to the right of the point on the number line.
