A number line shaded to the left of 8 describes which inequality?

Explanation:
Shading to the left of a point on a number line represents all numbers that are smaller than that point. If the endpoint isn’t included, we use a strict inequality with “<.” Since the region is to the left of 8 and does not include 8 itself, the inequality is x < 8. The other possibilities would describe regions to the right of 8 or would include 8, which isn’t shown here.
