Transcript text: Solve and graph the following inequality.
\[
0.2 x<-18
\]
Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A. The solution set is $\{x \mid x \leq$ $\square$ 3.
B. The solution set is $\{x \mid x \geq$ $\square$
C. The solution set is $\{x|x\rangle$ $\square$
D. The solution set is $\{x \mid x<$ $\square$ $\}$.
Which of the following is the graph of the solution?
A. B.
c. D.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Solve the inequality
Divide both sides of the inequality \(0.2x < -18\) by \(0.2\):
\(x < \frac{-18}{0.2}\)
\(x < -90\)
Step 2: Express the solution set
The solution set is \(\{x | x < -90\}\).
Step 3: Identify the correct graph
The graph should show all values less than -90. This is represented by an arrow pointing to the left from -90, with an open circle at -90 (since -90 is not included). This corresponds to graph C.
Final Answer
The solution set is \(\boxed{\{x | x < -90\}}\), and the correct graph is \(\boxed{C}\).
