Please help, I'm kind of confused ; - ;

Answer :

It is B

Explanation :

You solve the equation first

2x+1<_-15

Subtract 1 from both sides

2x<_-16

Divide 2 from both sides

x<_-8

Now put it on the line

<_ = closed circle < = open circle

In this case it’s <_ so it is a closed circle.

If the inequality sign is <_ (less than or equal to) you draw the line to the left. If it is >_ (greater than or equal to) you draw the line to the right.

In this case it is <_ (less than or equal to) so we draw the line on -8 closed circle to the left.
