Which of the following is a graph for the values of \(x\) defined by the inequality \(2x+6>16\)?
Show Hint
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
\(2x+6>16 \implies x>5\).
Step 2: Interpret.
Since it is strictly greater than 5, \(x=5\) is not included.
Step 3: Graph.
This is represented by an open circle at 5 with shading to the right.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Option (2)}} \]

In a certain batch of guests in a museum, there are 50 guests; each guest buys either a 40 ticket or a 60 ticket, with at least one guest of each ticket type. The average (arithmetic mean) value of ticket-receipts from the batch is more than 50. If the average value of ticket-receipts is to be reduced to less than 50 by including few new guests with $40 tickets, what could definitely NOT be the number of new guests with $40 tickets that could be included?
Indicate all such numbers.
