Solve x - 3 < -1. Graph the solution.

x < 2

Explanation: To solve for x in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get x by itself on one side.

Since 3 is being subtracted from x, we add 3

to both sides of the inequality to get x < 2.

Before we graph, write your answer in set notation.

We can write this as {x: x < 2}.

It's important to understand what this means.

This means that any number less than 2 is a solution to this inequality.

I have graphed the inequality for you below.

Start with an open dot on +2.

We use an open dot because +2 is not included as a solution.

Then draw an arrow going to the left.

step-by-step explanation:

8+13=21

21+8=29

29+6=35
