Add -7





Multiply by remembering to switch the sense of the inequality because of multiplying by a negative.






Draw a number line. Put a little circle at -4. Put a little circle at 6. Make a fat line that connects the two little circles.



Make sure your little circles are open circles -- not filled in like the picture.
