Answer: (x > -3).
Explanation:
To solve the inequality 4(1 - x) < 16, we will simplify and solve for x:
4(1 - x) < 16
Distribute the 4:
4 - 4x < 16
Subtract 4 from both sides:
-4x < 12
Divide both sides by -4. Note that when dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign flips:
x > -3
The solution to the inequality is x > -3. This means that x must be greater than -3 for the inequality to hold true.
To graph the solution on a number line, we mark a shaded region to the right of -3, indicating that all values greater than -3 satisfy the inequality:
The open circle at -3 indicates that -3 is not included in the solution since the inequality is strict (x > -3).
