Answer: Last option
The number -8.4 is a solution to the inequality because -8.4 is located to the left of [tex]-3\frac{1}{4}[/tex] on the number line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that: [tex]-3\frac{1}{4} =-3-\frac{1}{4} =-3.25[/tex]
The inequality is:
[tex]k<-3 \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
The inequality is:
This means that the inequality includes all values of the number line that are less than -3.25 or that are to the left of -3.25
__-8.4_________-3.25_-3____0___0.9____________7.1__
Note that the number -8.4 is less than -3.25, because it is to its left on the number line.
Then the correct statement is:
The number -8.4 is a solution to the inequality because -8.4 is located to the left of [tex]-3\frac{1}{4}[/tex] on the number line.
