What are the differences between shaded circles and unshaded circles in inequalities?

The difference between the inequality shaded and unshaded circles is that the shaded means the answer can be either equal to or greater than/less than the number, and the unshaded circle means that the answer can be greater than/less than the number. I hope this helps!

Shaded circles in inequalities indicate that the boundary value is included (greater than or equal to/less than or equal to), while unshaded circles mean the boundary value is not included (greater than/less than). This distinction is important for correctly graphing inequalities on a number line.
