Answer:
x < 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4 < - 3
<u> + 4 +4</u> Do inverse operations by adding 4 on both sides
x < 1
Therefore, the answer is x < 1.

-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
The circle is open because based on the concept that in inequalities, <em>less/greater than and/or equal to (such as these ≥ ≤ )</em> signs are graphed with closed circles, while less/greater than (like these > <) signs are graphed with open circles. The direction of the arrow is moving to the left on the number line because all possible values for x would be less than 1. When graphing the inequality you would use a solid line rather than a dashed line (I had to improvise since I could not attach an image).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = - 1, x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2| x + 6 | - 4 = 6 ( add 4 to both sides )
2|x + 6 | = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
| x + 6 | = 5
The absolute value function always gives a positive result, but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
x + 6 = 5 or - (x + 6) = 5
solve both
x + 6 = 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = - 1
or
- (x + 6) = 5 , that is
- x - 6 = 5 ( add 6 to both sides )
- x = 11 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 11
