Answer:

Given inequality:


-4x+8>-8

Solving for
x

Subtracting by 8 both sides.


-4x+8-8>-8-8


-4x>-16

Dividing by -4 both sides.


(-4x)/(-4)<(-16)/(-4) [On multiplying and dividing by a negative number both sides the sign of the inequality is reversed]


x<4

This can be represented in a number line as shown below.

It stats from 4(not included) and goes up to negative infinity.
