How do you solve and graph x + 11 > 16 ?

Step 1
Subtract ${\displaystyle 11}$ from each side of the inequality to solve for x while keeping the inequality balanced:
${\displaystyle x+11-11>16-11}$
${\displaystyle x+0>5}$
${\displaystyle x>5}$
To graph this we will draw a vertical line at 5 on the horizontal axis.
The line will be a dashed line because the inequality operator does not contain an "or equal to" clause.
