this web can show you all of the steps :)

Answer 2

Divide both sides by -4. It's not equal to, so you will have an open circle. So you can eliminate B and D

Answer 3

is it shading to the right or left?? :)

Answer 4

Solve for x by dividing both sides by -4
do not forget that if you divide an inequality by a negative, the inequality sign changes.

Learn this ..
if your problem has an equal sign, it is a closed circle
no equal sign means open circles
if it is less then (<) shading goes to the left
if it is greater then (>) shading goes to the right

now lets see what you can do

Answer 5

and it's less than so to the left as well

Answer 6

try again...if you divide by a negative, the inequality sign changes

Answer 7

Ah. So greater than and it goes to the right

Answer 8

yep..
-4x < 20 -- divide both sides by -4 (and change your sign)
x > -5
greater ...shading goes to the right and since there is no equal sign, open circles

Answer 9
