Thing we're being asked to do in this problem is to solve the given inequality.
00:04
Well, you solve inequalities just like equations.
00:06
So to isolate d, i'm going to add three to both sides of our inequality.
00:12
Well, negative 4 plus 3 is negative 1.
00:14
So what we've found is that d will be less than negative 1.
00:19
Now that we've solved, we want to graph the solution set on a number line.
00:23
So we set up our number line.
00:24
I'm going to put negative 1 in the middle, and i'll put a value that's greater than it to the right and lessen it to the left.
00:31
First, i'm going to have an open circle at negative 1 because d is just less than negative 1.
00:37
It doesn't include negative 1.
00:39
And then i'm going to shade to the left -hand side because we're talking about all values of d that are less than it.
00:45
So on the number line, when you're less than the number, you go occur to the left.
00:51
Now we have our number line.
00:52
Now, part a, we want to describe our solution set using set notation...
