I assume the scale is called x. We then notice the interval for x is [-3 ; 5[ we observe that in -3 there is a red dot that indicate it is a part of the interval, unlike with 5 where it is not filled, in other words... it is not a part of the interval. Now we set up an inequality... we know that x have to be bigger or equal to -3 so we write: -3<=x Now we see on the other side that it is going highest to 5 so we can write this: x<5 (remember 5 is not a part of it) Put both inequalities together and we get: -3<=x<5

Oh... well I have answered it by one equality, but it is also stated in the above.
