OpenStudy (nubeer):

as you can see in graph the line shows the values of x would be less then -1... so u know ur answer should be x< -1

OpenStudy (nubeer):

now solve each of the options u have and see for which option u get x< -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! So it's C right? -1 - 5 ≤ -6, right?

OpenStudy (nubeer):

hmm nearly right just one mistake ur x<-1, not x<= -1

OpenStudy (nubeer):

so it's not C option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, so.. Bleehhh so if x is less than or equal to -1, shouldn't option C be right? -6 ≤ -6

OpenStudy (nubeer):

lol but its not "less then equal to" it's just "less then"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to solve for x, and then see which value of x is less than negative 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? Yeah the arrow with the line under it means less than or equal to
