please explain to me how to get the answer to this problem. must show all work.

4+j< -1
-

4 + j <-1

add -4 to both sides
j < -5
everything to the left of -5 on a number line

please help again.

i really don't understand this math thing.
41 - a= 23.

41 - a = 23 add a to both sides

___+ a = +a
-------------
41 = 23 + a now add -23 to both sides
-23=-23
-------------
41-23 = a
18 = a

To solve the inequality 4+j < -1 and show all the work, follow these steps:

Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the variable j:
4 + j - 4 < -1 - 4
j < -5

Step 2: Write the solution as an inequality: j < -5

Therefore, the solution to the inequality 4+j < -1 is j < -5.
