Answer: Oops its the 3rd answer, my explanation is wrong but the first paragraph has some decent info
Step-by-step explanation:
I could just give you the answer but I want you to intuitively understand it. W is the variable you are looking for, right. So anything shaded on those number lines is going to indicate the value of w. The answer is that w < -6.1
Negative numbers are a little bit tricky when using less and greater than. But basically, less than means closer to 0 and greater than means farther from zero. So this means that w is every single number less than -6.1, or closer to zero and then continuing on in the postive direction.
Now for the little circle on the -6.1:
A circle that is not shaded in means that this value is NOT included. And we can see that the sign is <, not [tex]\leq[/tex]. So we are going to have an open circle from -6.1 that is going closer to zero and beyond. The first answer fits that criteria perfectly
