Answer:
Starts at 4.5 as a filled-in circle, goes left the #line.
Step-by-step explanation:
<---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
That is our number line. We write the inequality as this:
2x+8>=17
Subtract 8 from both sides
2x >= 9
Divide by two on both sides
x>=4.5
You can now graph it as this:
(Make sure it's a filled-in circle!)
<|---|--|--<-|----|--|---|---|---|---|----|---|---|---|---|---|---|----|---|-----|---|---|---(⋅)----|---|----|--> -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 4.5 5 6
