Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided.
4x - 61 > -85
answer attempt 1 out of 2
< > ≤ ≥ or
inequality notation:
number line:

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: \(x>-6\)

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