To solve the inequality \( x + 6 < 5x - 2 \), we can start by isolating \( x \). First, subtract \( x \) from both sides: \[ 6 < 4x - 2 \] Next, add 2 to both sides: \[ 8 < 4x \] Then, divide both sides by 4: \[ 2 < x \] This can also be written as \( x > 2 \). Now, to graph this solution set on a number line, you'll draw an open circle at 2 (indicating 2 is not included in the solution) and shade to the right, showing all numbers greater than 2. Happy graphing! 🎉
