The number line shows the graph of an inequality: A number line is shown from negative 5 to positive 5 with increments of 0.5. All the whole numbers are labeled on the number line. An empty circle is shown on the seventh mark to the left of 0. The region to the left of the empty circle is shaded.

Which statement explains whether −4.5 can be a value in the shaded region?

No it cannot, because −4.5 lies to the left of −3.5.

No it cannot, because −4.5 lies to the right of −3.5.

Yes it can, because −4.5 lies to the right of −3.5.

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
