1.) Let's say that the circle on the graph below represents x. The arrow is pointing to all the numbers greater than x, which happens to be on -2. If it points right, this means that x can equal to any number greater than -2. So your answer is x > -2.
2.) For inequalities such as these, you can simplify just like what you do for normal equations. Let's isolate x.
