You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you have two variables in bx, but i'll try to help you solve
bx + 4 < -12
- 4 -4
bx < -16
since < is a less than sign, it will look like this on the number line
-30 -25 -20 -15 -10 -5 0 5 10 15 20
<--------)
and the ordered pair is (negative infinity, -16)
