Which of the following is not a way to represent the solution of the inequality 8x - (5x + 4) > = -31?

x > = -9

-9 < = x

a number line with a closed circle on -9 and shading to the left

a number line with a closed circle on -9 and shading to the right

-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 :)!

i believe it is c.y = 9x

rise over run. 9 units up over 1 unit right or 9/1

your answer is -9
