Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. A closed circle is marked on the tick line above 1. A line is drawn from 1 toward 10 with an arrow at the end.

The correct inequality that Weston solved is x-0.5≤0.5 (x minus 0.5 less-than-or-equal-to 0.5). This is because the closed circle is marked on the tick line above 1, indicating that x can be equal to or less than 1. The line drawn from 1 towards 10 with an arrow at the end also shows that x can go beyond 1, but it cannot be greater than 2 (as it would hit the tick line above 2 if it were). Therefore, x must be less-than-or-equal-to 1, which matches the given inequality.
