Question

solve the inequality and graph the solution.
\\(\frac{s + 1}{3} > - 1\\)
plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the segment, ray, or line to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by 3

$3\times\frac{s + 1}{3}>3\times(-1)$
$ s + 1>-3$

Step2: Subtract 1 from both sides

$s+1 - 1>-3 - 1$
$s>-4$

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is $s > - 4$. On the number - line, we plot an open circle at $-4$ (since the inequality is strict, $s
eq - 4$) and draw a ray to the right of $-4$.
