Question

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

x > 1; closed circle on 1, shading to the right

x < 1; closed circle on 1, shading to the left

x < 1; open circle on 1, shading to the left

x > 1; open circle on 1, shading to the right

Answer 1

dude. quit spamming please.

Answer 2

-4x-5>-9
-4x>-4
x<1 when dividing by -4, you must flip the sign
since its only < we can assume it is open circle

now test x=0
-4(0)-5>-9
-5>-9 true

x=1
-4(1)-5>-9
-9>-9 false open circle

x=2
-4(2)-5>-9
-13>-9 false

therefore shading to left
