I really need help! Can someone please help me by explaining im not asking for the answer  im asking for someone to explain it so that I can figure the rest of them for myself.

anonymous · Answer

can't because something is missing in your question

anonymous · Answer

"Choose the correct description of the graph of the inequality x - 4 5x."

anonymous · Answer

x-4>= 5x

anonymous · Answer

$$x-4\geq 5x$$ subtract $x$ an get 
$$-4\geq 4x$$ divide by $4$ to get 
$$-1\geq x$$ or $x\leq -1$

anonymous · Answer

in english, $x$ is less than or equal to minus one
it will have a closed circle because of the "equal to" part

anonymous · Answer

and since numbers that are less than minus one are to the left of $-1$ pick
" Closed circle on -1, shading to the left"

anonymous · Answer

Thank you soo much!!! That really helped a lot because I have 20 questions asking me the same thing just different equations.
