Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below.
-4 > 2x
answer attempt 1 out of 5
< > ≤ ≥ or
inequality notation:
number line:

submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 2

$$\frac{-4}{2}>\frac{2x}{2}$$

Step2: Simplify

$$-2 > x$$
Which can be rewritten as \(x < - 2\)

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \(x < - 2\)
For the number line: Place an open circle at \(-2\) (since the inequality is strict, \(x
eq - 2\)) and draw an arrow to the left.
