Which number line represents the solution set for the inequality –x ≥ 4?

Question illustration
A
A number line from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 2. A point is at negative 2 and a bold line starts at negative 2 and is pointing to the left.
Option A
B
A number line from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 2. A point is at negative 8 and a bold line starts at negative 8 and is pointing to the left.
Option B
C
A number line from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 2. A point is at negative 2 and a bold line starts at negative 2 and is pointing to the right.
Option C
D
A number line from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 2. A point is at negative 8 and a bold line starts at negative 8 and is pointing to the right.
Option D
3

Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality.Step 2: __________Step 3: Divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of x.

A
Add 2x to both sides of the inequality.
B
Subtract 8x from both sides of the inequality.
C
Subtract 2x from both sides of the inequality.
D
Add 8x to both sides of the inequality.

Option A
B
A number line from negative 1.5 to 1.5 in increments of 0.5. A point is at 0.5 and a bold line starts at 0.5 and is pointing to the right.
Option B
C
A number line from negative 1.5 to 1.5 in increments of 0.5. A point is at negative 0.5 and a bold line starts at negative 0.5 and is pointing to the left.
Option C
D
A number line from negative 1.5 to 1.5 in increments of 0.5. A point is at negative 0.5 and a bold line starts at negative 0.5 and is pointing to the right.
Option D
5

Which is a correct first step in solving the inequality –4(2x – 1) > 5 – 3x?

A
Distribute –4 to get –8x + 4 > 5 – 3x.
B
Distribute –4 to get –8x – 1 > 5 – 3x.
C
Subtract 2x from both sides of the inequality.
D
Add 1 to both sides of the inequality.
6
