Solve the inequality. Graph the results. \( x+4<-3 \)

To solve the inequality \(x + 4 < -3\), start by isolating \(x\). Subtract 4 from both sides: \(x < -3 - 4\) This simplifies to: \(x < -7\) So, the solution is all values of \(x\) that are less than \(-7\). On a number line, this is represented by an open circle at \(-7\) with a shaded line extending to the left, indicating all numbers less than \(-7\) are included in the solution. To visualize it, simply draw a horizontal line representing the number line, place an open circle at \(-7\), and shade everything to the left of that point. Keep in mind that the circle is open, showing that \(-7\) itself is not included in the solution!
