Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. 4 < x - 1

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x

Add 1 to both sides of the inequality.
$4 + 1

Step2: Simplify

$5 5$

Answer:

The solution is $x>5$. To graph on a number - line, draw an open circle at 5 (since 5 is not included in the solution) and draw an arrow to the right to represent all numbers greater than 5.
