The inequality 45 + x > 74 can be rewritten as x > 74 - 45 or x > 29.

The number line that represents this inequality is:

< 29 ------------------o--------------->

No, the correct representation for the inequality x > 29 on a number line is to have a solid dot at 29 and shade to the right of 29.

Here is the correct representation:
