If x is between two numbers a and b, then a < x < b

Answer 2

what does that mean

Answer 3

a < x < b is a compound inequality. Also a < b

I'm giving you a more general explanation of how it works.

Answer 5

-4<x<-6

Answer 6

oh yah i meant -4<x<6

Answer 8

Okay, but just for future reference, in case you run across a situation where you have to write an inequality when x is between -6 and -4 you write

-6 < x < -4

Answer 9

-6 < -4
