Question

On a number line, what is x-4<-3?

Answer 1

Add 4 to both sides

x - 4 < -3

x-4+4 < -3+4

x < 1

To graph this on a number line, plot an open circle at 1 on the number line. Do not fill in the open circle. Shade to the left of the open circle. The shaded region represents all x values smaller than 1.

The graph is shown below.
