Transcript text: Write an inequality for the graph shown below. Use $x$ for your variable.

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the type of inequality

The graph shows a number line with an open circle at 5 and shading to the left, indicating that the inequality does not include 5 and includes all numbers less than 5.

Step 2: Write the inequality

Since the open circle at 5 means that 5 is not included, and the shading to the left means all numbers less than 5 are included, the inequality is: \[ x < 5 \]

Final Answer

\[ x < 5 \]
