Question

isolate the variable to solve 4x + 4 > -20. which number line shows the solution set? a

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 4 from both sides

$4x+4 - 4>-20 - 4$
$4x>-24$

Step2: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4x}{4}>\frac{-24}{4}$
$x > - 6$

On a number - line, this is represented by an open circle at - 6 (since the inequality is strict, $x
eq - 6$) and an arrow pointing to the right.

Answer:

The number line with an open circle at - 6 and an arrow pointing to the right.
