Answer 1

A number line with an open circle on -2, shading to the left, and a closed circle on 5, shading to the right.

A number line with a closed circle on -2, shading to the left, and an open circle on 5, shading to the right.

A number line with an open circle on -2, a closed circle on 5, and shading in between.

A number line with a closed circle on -2, an open circle on 5, and shading in between.

Answer 2

\[x \neq 5\]
x > -2
Are those the two equations?

Answer 3

yup

Answer 4

Well then x > -2 has an open circle on -2 and must be shaded to the right since the x intercepts have to be greater than -2.

Next, if x can not equal 5, you have another open circle on 5 and shade between. Do you understand?

Answer 5

C????????? And im sorry i had no clue what u ment by "x \neq 5
x > -2
Are those the two equations?

Answer 6

No the answer is D. I said open circle on 5. Here is how i got the two equations:

x - 2 < -4 and \[3x \neq 15\]
For the first equation just add 2 to the -4 to get x by itself.
The other equation you just divide 15 by 3. Understand?

Answer 7

ohhh yea :)

Answer 8

wait no , u said open circle on -2

Answer 9

@Brybro

Answer 10

Yea you have open circles on both -2 and 5. You only have a closed circle if the > had a dash underneath it. That means is is greater than or EQUAL too.

Answer 11

ohhh so its D alright

Answer 12

Yep.

Answer 13

x - 2 > -4 and 3x </= 15
gaby... is this your inequalities:

\(\large x - 2 > -4 \\ and \\ 3x \le 15 \)

???

Answer 14

idk what that is :/

Answer 15

Does the second equation have the = with a line across it or does it have < with a dash underneath it?
