The solution of x − 2 ≤ 0 is:

Answer: x ≤ 2.

  • A x ≤ 2
  • B x ≥ 2
  • C x < 0
  • D x > 2

Correct answer: A. x ≤ 2

Explanation: Adding 2 to both sides gives x ≤ 2.

Number Line vs Half-Plane Representationx > 2 (open circle, hollow)2x ≤ 2 (closed circle, filled)shaded regionsatisfies the inequality2D inequality: dashed line = strict, shaded = solution side

One-variable inequalities use open (excluded) or closed (included) circles on a number line; two-variable inequalities use a dashed (strict) or solid (non-strict) boundary line, with the solution being the entire shaded half-plane on one side of it.

Concept context
