Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The correct graph that shows the solution to the inequality 9.5x - 1.25 < 32 is option C.

In option C, an open point is plotted on the number line between 3 and 4, just after 3. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond negative 10. This represents all the values of x that satisfy the inequality.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's recheck the options.

The inequality we have is 9.5x - 1.25 < 32.

To solve it, we can start by isolating the variable x. Adding 1.25 to both sides of the inequality, we get:

9.5x < 33.25.

Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 9.5 to solve for x:

x < 33.25/9.5.

Simplifying, we have:

x < 3.5.

Now, let's consider the given options again:

A. An open point is plotted on the number line between 3 and 4. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond negative 10.

B. A closed point is plotted on the number line between 3 and 4. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the closed point and goes beyond negative 10.

C. An open point is plotted on the number line between 3 and 4, just after the 3. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond negative 10.

D. A closed point is plotted on the number line between 4 and 5, just before 5. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the closed point and goes beyond negative 10.

Based on our solution x < 3.5, option C is the correct graph.

You are right, I apologize for the confusion. My previous response was incorrect.

Let's recheck the options and solve the inequality again.

The inequality is 9.5x - 1.25 < 32.

To solve it, we can start by isolating the variable x. Adding 1.25 to both sides of the inequality, we get:

9.5x < 33.25.

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 9.5:

x < 33.25/9.5.

Simplifying, we have:

x < 3.5.

Now let's consider the given options:

A. A number line is shown ranging from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line between 3 and 4. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond negative 10.

B. A number line is shown ranging from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. A closed point is plotted on the number line between 3 and 4. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the closed point and goes beyond negative 10.

C. A number line is shown ranging from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line between 3 and 4, just after the 3. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond negative 10.

D. A number line is shown ranging from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. A closed point is plotted on the number line between 4 and 5, just before 5. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the closed point and goes beyond negative 10.

Based on our solution x < 3.5, the correct graph that shows the solution is option A.

In option A, an open point is plotted on the number line between 3 and 4, and a leftward arrow originates at the open point and goes beyond negative 10. This represents all the values of x that satisfy the inequality.
