how do you graph this inequality

Question

I am trying to figure out how to do this line graph and I need help it is 6x<12

Answer 1

Hi Haley,

First, you can think, what number is "x" if    6x = 12.  That answer is 2.  To keep the product of 6 and "x" to be less than 12, the "x" must stay less than 2, or x < 2.  On a number line, draw a circle on 2 and draw an arrow to the left.  The circle represents that 2 is not included in the answer. 

Have a good day!
