Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below.
-1 < \frac{x}{-4}
answer attempt 1 out of 2
< > \leq \geq or
inequality notation:
number line:
submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by -4

When multiplying an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, \(-1\times(-4)>\frac{x}{-4}\times(-4)\)

Step2: Simplify

\(4 > x\), which can be written as \(x < 4\)

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \(x < 4\)
On the number - line, we have an open circle at \(4\) (since \(4\) is not included) and the line extends to the left (towards smaller numbers)
