How will 3(x − 2) ≤ 2(x + 5) be represented on the number line?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x ≤ 16; a closed dot at 16 and shading to the left

Expand the brackets carefully: 3(x − 2) ≤ 2(x + 5) gives 3x − 6 ≤ 2x + 10. Subtracting 2x from both sides gives x − 6 ≤ 10, and adding 6 gives x ≤ 16. The symbol ≤ includes equality, so x = 16 belongs to the solution set and must be marked by a closed dot. All values smaller than 16 lie to the left of 16, so that side of the number line is shaded. Therefore option A gives the correct algebraic result and graphical representation. Option B reverses the solution direction, while options C and D use open dots, which would incorrectly exclude 16.
