What are the solutions of the inequality? Graph the solutions. b – 4 > 4 A. b >0 http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh639/zigzagoon20001/A._zpsd6f63941.png B. b > 8 http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh639/zigzagoon20001/B._zps68d27036.png C. b > –8 http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh639/zigzagoon20001/C._zps749ba701.png D. b < –8 http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh639/zigzagoon20001/D._zps5a791cf4.png

b-4>4 add 4 to both the sides b-4+4>4+4 Could you simplify this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm afraid not.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm trying to help out my little cousin and I failed math.

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[b-4+4 > \underline{4+4}\] let's simplify the left part what's 4+4? @zigzagoon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 haha

OpenStudy (ash2326):

good, so we have now \[x\underline{-4+4}>8\] now what's -4+4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (ash2326):

good so we have \[x>8\] it's simplified now :) let's mark this on the number line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah ha. So it is B. (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think..

OpenStudy (ash2326):

yeah, just draw a line on number line at x=8 since we have y>8 so shade the right of x=8 with a open circle on the line x=8 ( this indicates that 8 is not included) could you do it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, thank you :3

OpenStudy (ash2326):

welcome :D did you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I did, thank you.
