1. Problem Description
The problem is to solve the inequality and graph the solution on a number line.
2. Solution Steps
First, we need to isolate the variable by subtracting 45 from both sides of the inequality:
The solution to the inequality is .
This means that can be any number less than or equal to
5.
To graph this solution on a number line, we need to plot a closed circle (or a filled dot) at 5, since the inequality includes 5 ( can be equal to 5), and then draw an arrow to the left, indicating that all numbers less than 5 are also solutions.
