Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

You just want to translate the words given in the question into an algebraic expression. For this one that would mean

x – 4 > -28 since it’s saying 4 less than a number (x – 4) has to be greater than (>) -28

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

x-4>-26, then solve for x

 

x>-22
