Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.\\(\frac{z + 1}{4} < 1\\)\
to draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the ray to delete it.\
(number line from -5 to 5 with ticks at each integer)\

Explanation:

Step1: Eliminate denominator

Multiply both sides by 4: $z + 1 < 4$

Step2: Isolate z

Subtract 1 from both sides: $z < 3$

Step3: Graph solution

Plot open circle at 3 (since < means not equal), draw arrow left (for values less than 3).

Answer:

$z < 3$
Graph: Open circle at 3, arrow left.
