A number line ranges from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line at 6. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open circle and goes beyond negative 10.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(4x > 10\), we start by isolating \(x\):

1. Divide both sides by 4:
\[
x > \frac{10}{4}
\]
2. Simplifying \(\frac{10}{4}\) gives:
\[
x > 2.5
\]

This means the solution to the inequality is all numbers greater than \(2.5\).

On a number line, this is represented by an open circle at \(2.5\) and a rightward arrow extending beyond \(10\).

From the options provided, the correct representation of the solution to the inequality \(4x > 10\) is:

- A number line with an open point plotted at \(2.5\) and a rightward arrow marked on the number line that originates at the open circle and goes beyond \(10\).

This corresponds to the option that states:
"A number line ranges from negative 10 to 10 with an open point plotted at 2.5. A rightward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open circle and goes beyond 10."
