\

Apply addition property of inequality: Add 2 to each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Apply commutative property of addition: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Add: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$

\

Apply division property of inequality: Divie each side by 3.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by negative one and flip the symbol)

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two same signs is positive)

\

Graph the solution set on a number line. $\"number$

\

Note: A dot means that this point is included in the solution set. $\"\"$
