Question

can i get some help with my algebra homework i just would like to know how to do it thanks

Answer 1

how do i solve -4+x>-2and graph it on a number line?

Answer 2

Inequalities are solved like equations, but you have to be careful since sometimes the > and < is swapped. For example, 4 > 2, but if we multiply by a negative number such as -1 we have -4 < -2. When adding or subtracting on both sides, you don't have to worry about this.

Now, if we add 4 to both sides of your inequality we get \( x>-2+4 \)
or \(x>2.\)

Answer 3

i have 6 more but id like to try them myself can you tell me how i can do this

Answer 4

how would i graph it ?

Answer 5

To graph this, just think about where numbers that solve \(x>2\) are located. Solutions to this are all numbers bigger than 2, so draw a number line and make a mark on the line to the right of 2 somehow.

Answer 6

like that ???

Answer 7

Yeah, that's great.

Answer 8

You can have a little (not filled) circle around 2 which means that all numbers close to 2 but not 2 are solutions. A filled circle would mean that 2 also is a solution.

Answer 9

You have to add the open circle to show that x is not equal to 2
