\n" ); document.write( "Part A\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: \"k+%2B+8+%3E+23\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The \"k+8\" part represents \"8 more than k\".
\n" ); document.write( "Whatever k is, add on 8. This sum exceeds 23, meaning it's larger than 23.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "===================================================
\n" ); document.write( "Part B\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To isolate k, we subtract 8 from both sides. We solve the inequality just like it was an equation. The inequality sign won't flip.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"k%2B8+%3E+23\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"k%2B8-8+%3E+23-8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"k+%3E+15\" is the answer\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "===================================================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Part C\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The result of part B was k > 15\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is the same as 15 < k. I swapped both sides and flipped the inequality sign.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We can further say 15 < k < infinity to tell us that the interval starts at 15 and \"ends\" at positive infinity.
\n" ); document.write( "I put \"ends\" in quotes because the interval doesn't really end of course. It goes on forever to the right.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We aren't including either endpoint, so we use parenthesis for each endpoint.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: (15, infinity)
\n" ); document.write( "Use the infinity symbol in place of the word if necessary.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "===================================================
\n" ); document.write( "Part D\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Follow these steps
  1. Draw a number line.
  2. Plot an open hole at 15.
  3. Shade to the right.
This visually describes every value of k larger than 15.
\n" ); document.write( "The value k = 15 itself is not part of the solution set.
\n" ); document.write( "This is because k > 15 would update to 15 > 15 which is false.
\n" ); document.write( "No number is larger than itself. This is why we need the open hole at the endpoint.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
