Safety Inspector Staffing Analysis
In your role as an operations manager at a processing facility, you must ensure that the number of certified safety inspectors, represented by , satisfies the capacity requirement given by the inequality .
Write a brief response for the shift supervisor training handbook that explains how to solve this inequality and represent its solution. In your response:
- Describe the mathematical operation that must be performed on both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable .
- State whether the direction of the inequality symbol changes during this process, and explain why or why not.
- State the final solved inequality.
- Describe how to represent this solution on a number line, specifically identifying the boundary number, the type of symbol used at this boundary, and the direction of the shading.
- Provide the final solution written in interval notation.
