Question 249506
equation is:


2x+1 < 5


subtract 1 from both sides to get:


2x < 4


divide both sides by 2 to get:


x < 2


your graph would be a vertical line at x = 2 with a shaded area to the left of it.


this implies that any value of x < 2 is valid.


y can be any value as long as the value of x is < 2


that's why the whole area would be shaded.
