1. Problem Description
The problem asks to match each of the six given inequalities to the graph that represents its solution set.
2. Solution Steps
1. $6x \le 3x$
Subtract from both sides:
This corresponds to graph F, a closed circle at 0 and an arrow pointing to the left.
2. $\frac{1}{4} x > -\frac{1}{2}$
Multiply both sides by 4:
This corresponds to graph A, an open circle at -2 and an arrow pointing to the right.
3. $5x + 4 \ge 7x$
Subtract from both sides:
Divide by 2:
or
This corresponds to graph C, a closed circle at 2 and an arrow pointing to the left.
4. $8x - 2 < -4(x - 1)$
Add to both sides:
Add 2 to both sides:
Divide by 12:
This corresponds to graph D, an open circle at 1/2 and an arrow pointing to the left.
5. $\frac{4x - 1}{3} > -1$
Multiply both sides by 3:
Add 1 to both sides:
Divide by 4:
This corresponds to graph B, an open circle at -1/2 and an arrow pointing to the right.
6. $\frac{12}{5} - \frac{x}{5} \le x$
Add to both sides:
Multiply both sides by 5:
Divide by 6:
or
This corresponds to graph C. However, graph C was already matched to inequality
3. There is an error. Re-examine inequality 3:
.
Thus, . This matches graph C, a closed circle at 2, and the line extending to the left.
Re-examine inequality 6: becomes or . Thus, x is greater than or equal to
