Answer:
-9<=x
A number line with a closed circle on the -9 and shading to the left.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because when you solve the problem:
8x-(5x+4)>=-31
Step 1: (distribute the negative sign) 8x-5x-4>=-31
Step 2: (Subtract 5x from 8x) 3x-4>=-31
Step 3: (Add 4 to both sides of the equation) 3x>=-31+4 which equals 3x>=-27
Step 4: (Divide by 3 into both sides of the equation) x>=-9
You should graph the answer with a closed circle on -9 and shading to the right because x>=-9 states that x is greater than or equal to 9. (When you shade to the right the numbers are increasing).
Hope this helps :)!
