Question

Solve the inequality x - 4 < -3. Then graph the solution set. Show your work. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x < 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4 < - 3

+ 4    +4                        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, less/greater than and/or equal to (such as these ≥ ≤ ) 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).
