Well, I must show my 'work' to the teacher to get full credit and I've little time to do it...

Answer 4

To graph an inequality of a single variable, you place an open dot on the number if the inequality sign is \(\gt\) or \(\lt\), or a closed dot on the number if the inequality sign is \(\le\) or \(\ge\). Then you darken the right side for greater than or the left side for less than.

Answer 5

Well I know that, I need to explain how I got the answer x>-3

Answer 6

Please ^u^

Answer 7

In your case, the dot is open, so the inequality sign has to be < or >.
The number with the open dot is -3.
The darkened side is to the right, so it means greater than.
The inequality is x > -3
