Start with the given inequality

Subtract 5 from all sides

Divide every side by -4 to isolate c. Remember, dividing every side of an inequality by a negative number flips the inequality signs

Rearrange the inequality.

So the solution in interval notation is: [2,8)

Now let's graph the solution set

Note: at there is a closed circle (which means this point is included) and at there is a open circle (which means this point is excluded)
