Solve the inequality.

D

Practice makes perfect
To determine the graph that matches the inequality, we first need to solve the inequality. We can do this by applying inverse operations to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality.
x+2> - 1
x> - 3
Our solution of x>- 3 means that all possible values of x that are greater than - 3 will satisfy the inequality. Notice that x cannot equal - 3, so an open circle is shown here on the number line.

As can be seen, this number line corresponds with option D.
