How do you solve and graph the solution of #k+24> -5#?

See a solution process below;

Explanation:

Subtract #color(red)(24)# from each side of the inequality to solve for #k# while keeping the inequality balanced:

#k + 24 - color(red)(24) > -5 - color(red)(24)#

#k + 0 > -29#

#k > -29#

To graph this we will draw a vertical line at #-29# on the horizontal axis.

The line will be a dashed line because the inequality operator does not contain an "or equal to" clause.

We will shade to the right side of the line because the inequality operator also contains a "greater than" clause:

graph{x >= -29 [-50, 50, -25, 25]}
