Answer:

x>4

Explanation:

Solving an inequality is very similar to solving an equation:

Given: 7x-6>22

Add 6 to both sides: 7x>28

Divide both side by 7: x>4

x>4 means that all x-values that are greater than 4 will work. Therefore you would write an open dot at x=4 on the number line to show that 4 isn't included, and draw an arrow going right to show all possible solutions greater than 4.
