Question

-4x - 5 > -9 and describe the graph of the solution.
someone help

Answer 1

First... this is an absolute value function/problem so you need to realize that there are essentially two sides to this equation.

LEFT SIDE (NEGATIVE)

5x - 2 = -8

solve normally so add the 2
-8 + 2 = -6

so now you have 5x = -6

divide -6 by 5 to get x value

x = -6/5


RIGHT SIDE (POSITIVE)

5x - 2 = 8

Add the 2

5x = 10

Divide by 5 to get x....

10/5 = x

In simplified terms x = 2



SO X CAN BE EITHER 2 or -6/5


I'm sure you can understand the rest?

Answer 2

so is it? x > 1 open circle on 1, shading to the right
