8x%2B4%3E4%282x%2B1%29-x%2B5 Start with the given inequality.


8x%2B4%3E8x%2B4-x%2B5 Distribute.


8x%2B4%3E7x%2B9 Combine like terms on the right side.


8x%3E7x%2B9-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.


8x-7x%3E9-4 Subtract 7x from both sides.


x%3E9-4 Combine like terms on the left side.


x%3E5 Combine like terms on the right side.

Answer:

So the solution is x%3E5

So the answer in interval notation is


Here's the graph of the solution set on the number line



Note: there's an open circle at the endpoint
