Question

Solve -3x + 1 > 4 and describe the graph of the solution
x < -1; Open circle on -1, shading to the left
x < -1; Open circle on -1, shading to the right
x > -1; Open circle on -1, shading to the left
x > -1; Open circle on -1, shading to the right

Answer 1

so far i have x>-1

Answer 2

so you want to solve it for x

-3x +1 > 4

subtract 1 from both sides

-3x > 3

divide by -3 from both sides

***note*** when you divide by a negative number in an inequality, you have to flip the sign over

x < -1

open circle because x is not <= -1.... just <-1

shade to the right because it is greater than -1

Answer 3

thanks
