The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \( \frac{5}{2} - 2x \geq \frac{1}{2} \) and represent the solution on a number line, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Inequality The given inequality is: \[ \frac{5}{2} - 2x \geq \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 2: Subtract \( \frac{5}{2} \) from Both Sides To isolate the term with \( x \), we subtract \( \frac{5}{2} \) from both sides: \[ \frac{5}{2} - 2x - \frac{5}{2} \geq \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ -2x \geq \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{2} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the Right Side Calculating the right side: \[ \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{2} = \frac{1 - 5}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2 \] So, we have: \[ -2x \geq -2 \] ### Step 4: Divide Both Sides by -2 Now, we divide both sides by -2. Remember, when dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign changes: \[ x \leq 1 \] ### Step 5: Consider the Domain of \( x \) The problem states that \( x \) belongs to the set of whole numbers (denoted as \( W \)). Whole numbers are \( 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots \). Therefore, we need to find the whole number solutions that satisfy \( x \leq 1 \). ### Step 6: Identify Valid Solutions The whole number solutions satisfying \( x \leq 1 \) are: - \( 0 \) - \( 1 \) ### Step 7: Represent the Solution on a Number Line To represent this on a number line: 1. Draw a horizontal line. 2. Mark points for \( 0 \) and \( 1 \). 3. Since \( x \) can be equal to \( 1 \), we will use a solid dot at \( 1 \). 4. We will also use a solid dot at \( 0 \) since \( 0 \) is included in the solution. The number line will look like this: ``` <---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---> -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 ● ● ``` ### Final Answer The solution set is \( \{0, 1\} \) represented on the number line with solid dots at \( 0 \) and \( 1 \). ---
