Should it include -2?
Should it include 3?
Should it include 7?

Do you know the inequality signs?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

You will only need a variable, lets say x, and one of those inequalities to write this

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

(Smaller Number) ____ X _____ (Larger Number)

The inequalities go in the spaces, think you can figure out which ones? Hint: It must INCLUDE those numbers

Answer 7

\[-4< x > 6\]

Answer 8

Since the numbers have to be included, you need the other symbol (The one with the line under it)

And one sign is backwards, so it reads that x > 6, but you want it to be less than or equal to 6

Answer 9

ok thanks

Answer 10

-4 < x > 6

1) This doesn't mean anything. You have not ever seen the inequalities pointing opposite directions.
2) If it meant something, it might be x > 6
