A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. An open circle is marked on the tick line above 5 and two thirds. A line is drawn from the circle toward 10 with an arrow at the end.

To solve the inequality \( x + 123 > 4 \), we first isolate \( x \):

\[ x + 123 > 4 \ x > 4 - 123 \ x > -119 \]

The solution to the inequality \( x > -119 \) represents all values greater than \(-119\). On a number line, this would be indicated by an open circle at \(-119\) and a line extending to the right toward positive infinity.

None of the options provided specifically mention \(-119\), but the first option describes an open circle at \( 5\frac{2}{3} \) and extends towards \(10\), which is incorrect. The second option has an open circle at \(2\frac{1}{3}\) and extends towards \(-10\), which is also incorrect. The third option places an open circle at \(5\frac{2}{3}\) and extends towards \(-10\), which again is incorrect.

However, the last option places an open circle at \(2\frac{1}{3}\) and extends towards \(10\), which doesn't match \( -119 \) either.

Based on the standard rule for such inequalities, look for an option that matches the correct direction towards positive infinity greater than \(-119\). Since none of the descriptions explicitly state it, it appears that there might be a small error in the options provided, and the closest would be the one that correctly describes extending towards higher numbers over negatively marked \(x\), which aligns with \(x > -119\).

However, since you are being asked to choose based on the provided visuals, the concept should fundamentally reference extending to the right positively from where the open circle is located.
