Solve the linear Inequality

Question

Solve the linear inequality. Other than ø, use interval notation to express the solution set and graph the solution set on a number line.

1) 5x - 4>4x - 10

Answer 1

Hi Jesse H.,

5x - 4 > 4x - 3

x - 4 > -3, subtract 4x from both sides.

x > 1, add 4 to both sides.

(1, ∞) is the interval notation.

On your linear graph, put an open parenthesis at 1 (this indicates 1 is not included), and a horizontal line attached to the parenthesis in the direction of positive x values, such as (---------------------->

I hope this helps, Joe.
