Question

solve the inequality, then describe the graph.5 + q <= 3

Answer 1

In order to solve the inequality, we just need to isolate the variable q, so we have:

$\begin{gathered} 5+q\le3 \\ q\le3-5 \\ q\le-2 \end{gathered}$

Now, graphing the inequality in the number line, we have:

So we can describe the solution as follow:

$\begin{gathered} \mleft\lbrace q\in\R\mright|q\le-2\} \\ or \\ (-\infty,2\rbrack \end{gathered}$

So the correct option is the first one.
