When graphing an inequality, what does an open dot represent?

Back

An open dot represents that the number is not included in the solution set, used with '<' or '>'.

Front

When graphing an inequality, what does a closed dot represent?

Back

A closed dot represents that the number is included in the solution set, used with '≤' or '≥'.

Front

Solve the inequality: 3x + 4 < 10

Back

x < 2.

Front

Solve the inequality: 2x - 5 ≥ 9

Back

x ≥ 7.

Front

What is the first step to solve the inequality: 4x - 1 < 11?

Back

Add 1 to both sides: 4x < 12.

Front

What is the second step to solve the inequality: 4x < 12?

Back

Divide both sides by 4: x < 3.
