Answer 2

What is the problem saying?

Answer 3

whch choice is the correct graph of /x/>4?

Answer 4

exactly so what exactly is that asking us to find?

Answer 5

the correct graph?

Answer 6

nevermind, so which graph do you think we can eliminate first?

Answer 7

maybe C

Answer 8

Why do you think so?

Answer 9

um well it does not make sence as a answer to me

Answer 10

I know we can eliminate A,B, and E right away because they are closed circles, and we know its not great than or equal to.

Answer 11

Do you think so?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

So that leaves us with C,D, and F

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

Lets now test D

Answer 16

If we input a number that is on the number line on D in for X is the equation true?

Answer 17

Say we put |0|>4

Answer 18

Is this true?

Answer 19

um no 4 is not less than 0 is is a bigger number so it would be greater than

Answer 20

Exactly, great job. We are now only left with two

Answer 21

Let's test C

Answer 22

If we take a number that is on the shaded area on the number line, would the equation be true?

We can test this by |-5|>4

Answer 23

no -5 is a small number so 4 is greater than -5

Answer 24

Remember the absolute value rules, Absolute value always make a number positive

|-a|= a
|-2|= 2

Answer 25

Does that make sense?

Answer 26

a little

Answer 27

So when we have a number in between the absolute value bars, it will always be positive

Answer 28

ok so C would most likely be the answer

Answer 29

Yes!
