Question

Solve for xx and graph the solution on the number line below.
minus, 4, is greater than, 2, x
−4>
2x

Answer 1

To solve for x, we first isolate x by dividing both sides of the inequality by 2:

-4 > 2x
-4/2 > x
-2 > x

So x is less than -2.

Now, let's graph this solution on the number line:

<-------------------o---(-2)------------------->

The open circle at -2 indicates that x is less than -2 but not equal to -2.
