Chapter 2: Q. 343 (page 184)

Translate to an inequality and solve. Then graph the solution on the number line and write the solution in interval notation:

Negative two times s is lower than 56.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution graph is:s>-28

-28,∞

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The following statement is given:

Negative two times s is lower than 56.

02

Step 2. Translate to an inequality and solve.

The inequality will be

-2s<56

Dividing both sides by -2 (this will reverse the inequality as division by a negative number is being performed)

-2s-2>56-2s>-28

03

Step 3. Graph the solution on the number line.

The graph of the solution on the number line is shown below:

04

Step 4. Writing the solution in the interval notation.

In the interval notation, the solution will be-28,∞
