To solve the inequality \( x - 3 \geq -4 + x \), we first simplify it:
-
Subtract \( x \) from both sides: \[ x - x - 3 \geq -4 \] This simplifies to: \[ -3 \geq -4 \]
-
This inequality is always true since \(-3\) is greater than \(-4\).
Since the inequality holds for all values of \( x \), the solution can be expressed in inequality notation as: \[ \text{Inequality Notation: } (-\infty, \infty) \]
For the number line, this means that all numbers are included. You can represent it as:
Number Line: -12 —————— -10 —————— -8 —————— -6 —————— -4 —————— -2 —————— 0 —————— 2 —————— 4 —————— 6 —————— 8 —————— 10 —————— 12
With shading or marking along the entire line to indicate that every point is part of the solution set.
So, the final answer is:
Inequality Notation: \((- \infty, \infty)\)
Number Line: [shaded/marked for all values]
