Question

4x - 3> 17 or 3x-4<-22Graph the solution on the number line.

Answer 1

4x - 3 > 17

Solve for x:

Add 3 to both sides:

4x > 17 + 3

4x > 20

Divide both sides by 4:

x > 20/4

x > 5

--------------------------

3x - 4 < - 22

Solve for x:

Add 4 to both sides:

3x < -22 + 4

3x < - 18

Divide both sides by 3:

x < -18/3

x < -6

So:

x > 5 or x < -6
