C. D.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Isolate the x term
Subtract 6 from all parts of the inequality:
-2 - 6 < -2x ≤ 8 - 6
-8 < -2x ≤ 2
Step 2: Divide by -2
Divide all parts of the inequality by -2. Remember to flip the inequality signs when dividing by a negative number.
-8 / -2 > x ≥ 2 / -2
4 > x ≥ -1
Step 3: Rewrite the inequality
Rewrite the inequality in standard form:
-1 ≤ x < 4
Step 4: Interval notation
The solution set in interval notation is [-1, 4).
Step 5: Choose the correct graph
The graph should show a closed circle at -1 and an open circle at 4, with the line shaded between them. This corresponds to option C.
Final Answer:
The solution set is [-1, 4), and the correct graph is C.
