Consider the compound inequality x greater than 4 or x less than a. If a=4 what would the solution be?

x=4.1 or any number higher

Step-by-step explanation:

The sign doesn't indicate that the number can be equal or greater to, which only means it can be bigger

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
