Answer 1

already showed you; only thing left to do is to DO it for you....

Answer 2

what do you get when you add 3x to both sides?

Answer 3

When I mean SHOW I'm referring to a step by step interpretation of how to solve the problem. not directions.

Answer 4

Im confused in which sides

Answer 5

both sides:

-3x+(3x) +4 </ x +(3x) +8

Answer 6

there is a left side and a right side to the </ sign right?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

intsead of an (=) betweent hem; you have the </ sign.... thats the only diff

Answer 9

how would you solve:

-3x +4 = x +8 ??

Answer 10

add 3 to both sides?

Answer 11

add (3x) to both sides would be more helpful :) but ill assume thats a typo..

Answer 12

-3x+3x +4 = x+3x +8

0+4 = 4x+8

4 = 4x+8 now what?

Answer 13

divide by 4

Answer 14

divide by for is possible; but there is an easier step first... we can -8 from each side to get that 4x by itself

Answer 15

4-8 = 4x +8-8

-4 = 4x + 0

-4 = 4x ; now we can easily /4

-4/4 = 4x/4

-1 = 1x

-1=x

Answer 16

since we dint mess with multiplying or dividing the 'x' by a negative number; we can use the same sign

-1 </ x

Answer 17

draw a vertical line thru x =-1

and since -1 </ 0 is true; the origin is included in the area to be shaded

Answer 18

Thanks!
