You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+3_>4 and -4x<20
First equation
x%2B3%3E=4
x%2B3-3%3E=4-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.
x%3E=1
Second equation
-4x%3C20
-4x%2F%28-4%29%3E20%2F%28-4%29Divide both sides by (-4), change direction of inequality.
x%3E-5
Since you must satisfy both conditions
x%3E=1 and x%3E-5, then the solution is
x%3E=1
