Linear Inequalities

Inequality

Solutions to $x>4$ are graphed in yellow on the number line. Notice the open circle means that the value of $4$ in not a solution to the inequality since $4>4$ is a false statement. If the inequality was $x\geq 4$, then $4$ would be a solution and there would be a closed circle over the $4$ on the number line.
