Step 1
let the number be represented by x
Then 'decreased' by 4 means subtracting 4 from it.
x - 4 represents the statement represents the statement
more than is represented by the symbol >
x - 4 > - 1 is the complete statement
To solve this, isolate the x term on the left side of the inequality by adding 4 to both sides.
x - 4 + 4 > - 1 + 4
x > 3 is the solution
