Well, we know 2x+4>14 or 2x+4<−14

2x+4>14 (Possibility 1)

2x+4−4>14−4 (Subtract 4 from both sides)

2x>10

2x > 10
--     ---
2        2
(Divide both sides by 2)

x > 5

Possibility 2: 
2x+4<−14(Possibility 2)

2x+4−4<−14−4(Subtract 4 from both sides)

2x<−18

2x < -18
---   ----
2         2
(Divide both sides by 2)

x < −9

Answer:
x>5 or x<−9

That leaves me going between A and B... I think lol

kendricklamar2014 · Answer

Well which one is it?$$A~or~B$$

leahhhmorgannn · Answer

I'm leaning more towards B... I'm not sure, it's been 5 months since i've done this unit.

kendricklamar2014 · Answer

Well B is Incorrect, so that makes the answer A. The line graph is separated just like choice A

leahhhmorgannn · Answer

What about open and closed circles though? I thought the -9 circle on A was incorrect...

kendricklamar2014 · Answer

Closed circles are when they are Less-than or Equal to/ Greater-than or Equal to
