Solve the inequality and graph the solution.
36>40–s
To draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the ray to delete it.
To solve the inequality, we can start by isolating s.
First, we subtract 40 from both sides of the inequality:
36 - 40 > 40 - 40 - s
-4 > -s
Next, we multiply both sides of the inequality by -1 to change the direction of the inequality:
4 < s
So the solution to the inequality is s > 4.
To graph the solution, we can draw a ray on the number line starting from 4 and extending to the right. Since the inequality is strict (s > 4), we use an open circle on 4 to indicate that it is not included in the solution. We use an arrow on the ray to show that it extends infinitely to the right.
The graph should look like this:
