Answer:
![(-\infty, -5] \cup (4,\infty)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28-%5Cinfty%2C%20-5%5D%20%5Ccup%20%284%2C%5Cinfty%29)
Step-by-step explanation:
The symbol  is set notation for UNION--put two sets together into one set.
 is set notation for UNION--put two sets together into one set.
The first part of the interval notation describes x less than or equal to -5 -- notice the bracket symbol after -5, meaning include -5.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
3(x + 4) = 3(x) + 3(4)
3(x + 4) = 3x + 12
3x + 12 = 3x + 12
Subtract 12 from both sides
3x + 12 - 12 = 3x + 12 - 12
3x = 3x
3x - 3x = 3x - 3x
= 0
 
        
             
        
        
        
In order to easily discern which graph is a proper representation of 6x + 4y = 8, you first need to convert the equation to y = mx+ b, also known as slope-intercept form. Here's how you can do this:
6x + 4y = 8
4y = -6x + 8
y = -1.5x + 2
The +2 tells you that your line will intercept the vertical y-axis at (0, 2). This narrows it down to graphs a and d. Then, because you have a NEGATIVE number in front of your x (it's -1.5), you can tell that your graph will be going down as it moves from left to right. This leaves you with graph d as your answer!
