Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The inequality given is 0s+1610 \leq s+16 \leq1 . We are solving for ss

STEP 2

The given inequality is a compound inequality, which means it is a combination of two inequalities. We can solve this by breaking it up into two separate inequalities and solving each one individually.
The two inequalities are1. 0s+160 \leq s+16
2. s+161s+16 \leq1

STEP 3

Let's solve the first inequality 0s+160 \leq s+16.
To do this, we need to isolate ss on one side of the inequality. We can do this by subtracting16 from both sides.
016s+16160 -16 \leq s+16 -16

STEP 4

implify the inequality to get the solution.
16s-16 \leq s

STEP 5

Now, let's solve the second inequality s+161s+16 \leq1.
Again, we need to isolate ss on one side of the inequality. We can do this by subtracting16 from both sides.
s+1616116s+16 -16 \leq1 -16

STEP 6

implify the inequality to get the solution.
s15s \leq -15

STEP 7

Now, we have two inequalities1. 16s-16 \leq s
2. s15s \leq -15

The solution to the compound inequality is the intersection of the solutions to these two inequalities, which is 16s15-16 \leq s \leq -15.

STEP 8

To graph the solution, we plot the interval [16,15][-16, -15] on the number line. The endpoints -16 and -15 are included in the solution, so we use closed circles at these points.
