How do you graph the inequality #7x+1<15#?

1 Answer

#x<2#

To graph, we place a hollow dot around 2 (to indicate that it is not a part of the solution) and a ray heading off to the left (towards 0 and negative numbers).

Explanation:

#7x+1<15#

#7x+1color(red)(-1)<15color(red)(-1)#

#7x<14#

#(7x)/color(red)(7)<14/color(red)(7)#

#x<2#
