Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( x + 4 \geq 8 \), follow these steps:

1. **Isolate \( x \)**:
\[
x + 4 \geq 8
\]
Subtract 4 from both sides:
\[
x \geq 8 - 4
\]
Simplifying:
\[
x \geq 4
\]

2. **Graph the Solution on the Number Line**:
- You will plot a closed circle (or dot) on the number 4 to indicate that 4 is included in the solution (since it’s greater than or equal).
- Shade the line to the right of 4 to indicate that all numbers greater than 4 are also included in the solution.

Now, here’s how to represent it graphically:

- **Number Line**:
- Mark a closed circle on 4.
- Shade the area to the right (indicating all numbers greater than or equal to 4).

Please click and drag the marker to place the closed circle on the number 4 and shade the section to the right.

Final Answer:
- Inequality Notation: \( x \geq 4 \)
- Number Line: Closed circle on 4, shaded to the right.

Feel free to submit your answer once you've marked the number line accordingly!
