1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to solve the inequality 5x+6>2x+9-5x+6 > -2x+9 and identify the corresponding number line representation of the solution.

2. Solution Steps

First, we solve the inequality:
5x+6>2x+9-5x+6 > -2x+9
Add 5x5x to both sides:
6>3x+96 > 3x + 9
Subtract 9 from both sides:
3>3x-3 > 3x
Divide both sides by 3:
1>x-1 > x
This is equivalent to x<1x < -1.
Now we need to identify the number line that represents x<1x < -1.
The number line should have an open circle at -1, since the inequality is strictly less than, and the arrow should point to the left, indicating values less than -
1.

3. Final Answer

The solution to the inequality is x<1x < -1. The number line representation has an open circle at -1 and the arrow pointing to the left.
The correct option is the first one.
