Solve for xx and graph the solution on the number line below.

minus, 64, is greater than, 8, x
−64>
8x

1 answer

To solve for x, first isolate x by dividing both sides by 8:

-64 > 8x
-8 > x

Therefore, x is less than -8.

Graphing this on the number line:

<-----o---------------------------o------------------------------------>
-10 -8 0

The solution would be x < -8 and would be shown on the number line to the left of -8.
