use the image to answer the question
there is a number line that goes from -10 to 10 it is highlighted from 1.5 to 10
Preston solved an inequality and graphed the solution on the number line. which of the following inequalities did he solve?
A 0.9x + 2.8 ≤ 5.95
B 3.4x - 1.2 ≥ 4.75
C 2.1x + 5.6 ≥ 8.75
D 5.6x -18.9 ≤ 0.7
Based on the information given, Preston solved an inequality and graphed the solution on the number line. Since the number line is highlighted from 1.5 to 10, this means that the solution to the inequality is x ≥ 1.5.
Out of the given answer choices:
A) 0.9x + 2.8 ≤ 5.95 does not match the solution x ≥ 1.5
B) 3.4x - 1.2 ≥ 4.75 does not match the solution x ≥ 1.5
C) 2.1x + 5.6 ≥ 8.75 does not match the solution x ≥ 1.5
D) 5.6x - 18.9 ≤ 0.7 does not match the solution x ≥ 1.5
Therefore, none of the given answer choices match the inequality that Preston solved.
it has to be one of them
Apologies for the confusion. Given the information provided, if the number line is highlighted from 1.5 to 10, this indicates that the solution to the inequality is x > 1.5 (since the inequality does not include 1.5).
Out of the given answer choices:
A) 0.9x + 2.8 ≤ 5.95 does not match the solution x > 1.5
B) 3.4x - 1.2 ≥ 4.75 does not match the solution x > 1.5
C) 2.1x + 5.6 ≥ 8.75 does not match the solution x > 1.5
D) 5.6x - 18.9 ≤ 0.7 matches the solution x > 1.5
Therefore, the inequality that Preston solved and graphed on the number line is D) 5.6x - 18.9 ≤ 0.7.
but i thought you said none of them where right
Apologies for the incorrect response. Upon reviewing the information again, if the number line is highlighted from 1.5 to 10, this suggests that the solution to the inequality is x ≥ 1.5 (since the inequality includes 1.5).
Out of the given answer choices:
A) 0.9x + 2.8 ≤ 5.95 does not match the solution x ≥ 1.5
B) 3.4x - 1.2 ≥ 4.75 does not match the solution x ≥ 1.5
C) 2.1x + 5.6 ≥ 8.75 does not match the solution x ≥ 1.5
D) 5.6x - 18.9 ≤ 0.7 matches the solution x ≥ 1.5
Therefore, the inequality that Preston solved and graphed on the number line is D) 5.6x - 18.9 ≤ 0.7. Apologies for the confusion in my previous response.
