Explanation:

Step1: Add 61 to both sides

$$4x-61 + 61> - 85+61$$
$$4x>-24$$

Step2: Divide both sides by 4

$$\frac{4x}{4}>\frac{-24}{4}$$
$$x > - 6$$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \(x > -6\)

For the number - line: Place an open circle at \(-6\) (because the inequality is \(>\), not \(\geq\)) and draw an arrow to the right.
