Question

tion.

1. $0 > -5x - 6x$
2. $-9 > -5n - 4n$

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms (Problem 2)

$0 > -11x$

Step2: Isolate $x$, reverse inequality

$\frac{0}{-11} < x$
$0 < x$ or $x > 0$

Step3: Combine like terms (Problem 4)

$-9 > -9n$

Step4: Isolate $n$, reverse inequality

$\frac{-9}{-9} < n$
$1 < n$ or $n > 1$

Answer:

1. For $0 > -5x - 6x$: $x > 0$ (On the number line, draw an open circle at 0 and shade to the right.)
2. For $-9 > -5n - 4n$: $n > 1$ (On the number line, draw an open circle at 1 and shade to the right.)
