Inequality Notation:
Number Line:
To solve the inequality -4 > x - 9, we can add 9 to both sides of the inequality:
-4 + 9 > x - 9 + 9
5 > x
The solution to the inequality is x < 5. To graph this on a number line, we would put an open circle on 5 and shade to the left:

Solve for xx and graph the solution on the number line below. x/-2<4
<
4
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2
Inequality Notation:
Number Line:
To solve the inequality x/-2 < 4, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by -2. However, since we are multiplying by a negative number, the direction of the inequality symbol needs to be flipped:
x/-2 > 4
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by -2:
x > 4 * -2
x > -8
The solution to the inequality is x > -8. To graph this on a number line, we would put an open circle on -8 and shade to the right:
Number Line:
