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

-3x+1>4
-1 -1
-3x>3
/-3 /-3
x<-1

Answer 2

it would be the first choice because when the variable is less than the given value, the shading will go to the left.

Answer 3

also remember that when you divide by a negative, the inequality is flipped, which is why
x is less than -1, not greater than

Answer 4
