Answer:
x < -3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To put this inequality on a number line, we first must solve it.
Step 1: Subtract 15 from both sides.
- [tex]5x + 15 - 15 < 0 - 15[/tex]
Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.
- [tex]\frac{5x}{5} <\frac{-15}{5}[/tex]
- [tex]x < -3[/tex]
2. Now that we know x < -3, let's graph it!
- Since it's less than, we make the number line point to the left, and we make the circle open.
