Answer 3

To solve the inequalities given, let’s break them down step by step.

### First Inequality:
\[
-x - 5 \geq 1
\]
1. Add 5 to both sides:
\[
-x \geq 6
\]
2. Multiply by -1 (remember to reverse the inequality):
\[
x \leq -6
\]

### Second Inequality:
\[
-x - 5 < -8
\]
1. Add 5 to both sides:
\[
-x < -3
\]
2. Multiply by -1 (remember to reverse the inequality):
\[
x > 3
\]

### Solution in Inequality Notation:
The solutions to the inequalities can be combined with "or":
\[
x \leq -6 \quad \text{or} \quad x > 3
\]

### Number Line Representation:
- To represent \(x \leq -6\), we draw a solid circle on -6 and shade to the left.
- To represent \(x > 3\), we draw an open circle on 3 and shade to the right.

### Summary:
1. **Inequality Notation**:
\[
x \leq -6 \quad \text{or} \quad x > 3
\]

2. **Number Line**:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
●---------------------------
○
x > 3
```
- Here, there is a closed circle at -6, shaded to the left, indicating \(x \leq -6\), and an open circle at 3, shaded to the right, indicating \(x > 3\).

Answer 4

To solve the inequalities given, we'll break them down step by step.

### First Inequality:
\[
-11 \leq -3x - 8
\]
1. Add 8 to both sides:
\[
-11 + 8 \leq -3x
\]
\[
-3 \leq -3x
\]
2. Divide by -3 (remember to reverse the inequality):
\[
1 \geq x \quad \text{or} \quad x \leq 1
\]

### Second Inequality:
\[
-17 \geq -3x - 8
\]
1. Add 8 to both sides:
\[
-17 + 8 \geq -3x
\]
\[
-9 \geq -3x
\]
2. Divide by -3 (remember to reverse the inequality):
\[
3 \leq x \quad \text{or} \quad x \geq 3
\]

### Solution in Inequality Notation:
The solutions to the inequalities can be combined with "or":
\[
x \leq 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x \geq 3
\]

### Number Line Representation:
- To represent \(x \leq 1\), we draw a solid circle on 1 and shade to the left.
- To represent \(x \geq 3\), we draw a solid circle on 3 and shade to the right.

### Summary:
1. **Inequality Notation**:
\[
x \leq 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x \geq 3
\]

2. **Number Line**:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
●-------------------------
●-------------------
x ≥ 3
```
- Here, there is a closed circle at 1, shaded to the left, indicating \(x \leq 1\), and another closed circle at 3, shaded to the right, indicating \(x \geq 3\).

Answer 5

To solve the inequalities given, we need to break them down into two parts and solve each one step by step.

### First Inequality:
\[
-x - 3 \geq -2
\]
1. Add 3 to both sides:
\[
-x \geq 1
\]
2. Multiply by -1 (remember to reverse the inequality):
\[
x \leq -1
\]

### Second Inequality:
\[
-x - 3 \leq -9
\]
1. Add 3 to both sides:
\[
-x \leq -6
\]
2. Multiply by -1 (remember to reverse the inequality):
\[
x \geq 6
\]

### Combine Solutions:
The solutions to the inequalities can be combined with "or":
\[
x \leq -1 \quad \text{or} \quad x \geq 6
\]

### Summary:
1. **Inequality Notation**:
\[
x \leq -1 \quad \text{or} \quad x \geq 6
\]

2. **Number Line Representation**:
- To represent \(x \leq -1\), we draw a solid circle at -1 and shade to the left.
- To represent \(x \geq 6\), we draw a solid circle at 6 and shade to the right.

### Number Line:
```
<---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|--->
-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
●-------------------
●--------------------
```
- Here, there is a closed circle at -1, shaded to the left, indicating \(x \leq -1\), and a closed circle at 6, shaded to the right, indicating \(x \geq 6\).
