Which number line below shows the set of numbers graphed correctly

The number line shows the graph of an inequality: A number line is shown from negative 5 to positive 5 with increments of 0.5. All the whole numbers are labeled on the number line. An empty circle is shown on the third mark to the left of 0. The region to the left of the empty circle is shaded. Which statement explains whether −3.5 can be a value in the shaded region? Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the right of −1.5. No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the left of −1.5. Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the left of −1.5. No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the right of −1.5.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x
