Yes you are correct very nice job!
B)40 because (4)*50/5 is (4)*10
-4(x + 1) + 5 = 17
Distribute -4 inside the parentheses.
(-4x - 4) + 5 = 17
Combine like terms (-4 + 5).
-4x + 1 = 17
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-4x = 16
Divide both sides by -4.
x = -4
Draw out a number line. Make sure 4 is on the number line. At this location, plot an open circle. The open circle indicates "do not include this endpoint as part of the solution set". We shade to the right of this open circle.
Visually this describes all real numbers that are larger than 4.
