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

\[-4x-5>-9,-4x-5+5>-9+5\]
-4x>-4
divide by -4 and change equality.
x<1
now you can write the solution.
