Let's solve the inequality step by step.
1. Start with the given inequality:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{3}(9x + 27) > x + 33
\][/tex]
2. Distribute the [tex]\(\frac{1}{3}\)[/tex] on the left side:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{3} \cdot 9x + \frac{1}{3} \cdot 27 > x + 33
\][/tex]
Which simplifies to:
[tex]\[
3x + 9 > x + 33
\][/tex]
3. Move all terms involving [tex]\(x\)[/tex] to one side and constant terms to the other side of the inequality. Subtract [tex]\(x\)[/tex] from both sides:
[tex]\[
3x - x + 9 > 33
\][/tex]
Simplifying, we get:
[tex]\[
2x + 9 > 33
\][/tex]
4. Move the constant term [tex]\(9\)[/tex] to the other side:
[tex]\[
2x > 33 - 9
\][/tex]
Which simplifies to:
[tex]\[
2x > 24
\][/tex]
5. Divide both sides by 2:
[tex]\[
x > 12
\][/tex]
The solution to the inequality is [tex]\(x > 12\)[/tex].
To represent this on a graph,
- The graph should have an open circle at [tex]\(x = 12\)[/tex] (indicating that 12 is not included in the solution) and a shaded region to the right of 12.
Therefore, the correct graph representation of the solution [tex]\(x > 12\)[/tex] corresponds to an open circle at 12 and shading to the right, indicating all values greater than 12.
