x < –2; {–5, –2.6, –2, –0.8, 1, 1.5}

A.
{–5, –2.6}

B.
{–5, –2.6, –2}

C.
{ –2, –0.8, 1, 1.5}

D.
{–0.8, 1, 1.5}

Answer 1

the answer is d

Answer 2

ty c:

Answer 3

think of the inequality like a greedy alligator who always bites the biggest one. In that case the inequality is saying that X is less than 2 so you need to find a number that is less than 2.
5 is not less than 2 so that's not it.
2.6 is not less than 2 so that's not it
2 is not less than so that's not it.
0.8 is less than 2
1 is less than 2
1.5 is less than 2
so the solution set is {0.8,1,1.5}

Answer 4

:o that makes alot of since :o
i should tell my teacher that :D

Answer 5

Hold on a sec.
We are dealing with negative numbers here.
The inequality is asking for numbers that are less than -2.
That means numbers that are to the left of -2 on the number line.
Let's place all the numbers of the replacement set on the number line.
