Question

solve and graph the following inequality: ( 4 > - 2 - 3 x )

Explanation:

Step1: Add 2 to both sides

$$\begin{align*} 4+2&>-2 - 3x+2\\ 6&>-3x \end{align*}$$

Step2: Divide both sides by - 3 (and reverse the inequality sign)

$$\begin{align*} \frac{6}{-3}&<\frac{-3x}{-3}\\ -2&

which can be written as \(x > - 2\)

Answer:

The inequality is \(x > - 2\). To graph it on a number line: draw an open circle at \(-2\) (because \(-2\) is not included in the solution set) and shade to the right of \(-2\) since \(x\) is greater than \(-2\).
