Answer 13

... :/ thrilling

Answer 14

here is random math work

Answer 15

last 2 are also wrong.

Answer 16

x+2 < -5

to simplify add -2 to both sides
x + 2 - 2 < -5 - 2
2 - 2 is 0 on the left side
x+ 0 < -5 -2
x+0 is x
-5 - 2 is -7
x< -7

Answer 17

x less than 0 (for example) means numbers to the *left* of 0 on the number line.
For example, -1 is less than 0.
when you say x<0, it means all numbers to the left of 0... all the negative numbers.

Answer 18

The < sign has a small pointy end, and a fat, wide end
the "little number" goes on the small pointy end and the big number on the wide, fat end

for example
3 < 4 is true because 3 is smaller than 4

Answer 19

if 3< 4 is true, then so is
4 > 3 (notice the fat, wide part of > goes with the 4, and the pointy end with the 3)

Answer 20

If you can't type ≥ use >= (computers use that form)

Answer 21

x ≥ 5
means a solid dot at 5 (because of the = part of the ≥ sign)
for x≥5 to be true, the "number" x must be bigger than 5 (or *to the right of 5* on the number line)... To pick which side to draw the line, test a number
for example, 6
is 6 ≥ 5 true. YES! so draw the arrow from 5 toward 6 and beyond...

Answer 22

You should re-do
5x + 3 > 4x + 7

Answer 23

yes, now pick the correct graph

Answer 24

Oh the second one!! Because its going beyond 4

Answer 25

But don't I point the arrow towards the <> direction?

Answer 26

yes, the line points to the right. We put an open circle at 4 because x > 4 does not include the 4

(x≥4 would include the 4, and we show that by using a solid dot)

Answer 27

the line is showing you what numbers make x > 4 true

it says " all these numbers" and points to the right

Answer 28

Okay! I'm gonna try the second-to-last one.
x - 5 > -2.
+5 +5
x>3

Answer 29

That would be the 3rd answer

Answer 30

yes.

Answer 31

5 > x + 7.
-7 -7
-2>x

Then it would be the second one :D

Answer 32

yes.

-2 > x is the same as
x < -2

the first says -2 is bigger than x
the second line says x is smaller than -2
both mean the same thing: x goes with the pointy end of < and -2 goes with the fat end of <

Answer 33

So is it all right now?

Answer 34

btw, it gets tricky for

-x > 1
for example
people teach the "rule" that if you multiply by -1, you *flip* the > sign
in other words:
-x > 1 becomes -1* -x < -1*1
which simplifies to x < -1

However, if you *never* multiply or divide by a negative number, you don't need to use that rule.

If you run into
-x > 1
add +x to both sides (adding or subtracting is always OK)
-x + x > 1 + x
0 > 1 + x
now add -1 to both sides and you get
-1 > x
or (the same thing)
x < -1

which is what we got if we used the "flip if you multiply by a negative number rule*

Answer 35

all your answers are correct now.
