pooja195 (pooja195):

I see Basically take the numbers that are given in the brackets and replace them in place of x \[\huge~\rm~ x<-2 \] #1 \[\huge~\rm~ -5<-2 \] Is this true or false?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

pooja195 (pooja195):

{-5,-2.6,-2,-0.8,1,,1.5} are all possible answers for x we need to figure out which one will make the statement \[\huge~\rm~ x<-2\] So the first number we see is -5 so we plug it in place of x in the given equation #1 \[\huge~\rm~ -5<-2\] Is -5 less than -2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh... no?

pooja195 (pooja195):

-2 is close to 0 on a number line -5 is further than 0 on a number line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo A?

pooja195 (pooja195):

No...you need to tell me if -5 is less than -2 |dw:1450844173617:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'ts not D...

pooja195 (pooja195):

Please stop guessing answer choices and put in the work please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO -5 is NOT bigger than two I said that

pooja195 (pooja195):

Sorry mis read what you wrote ._. moving on ok so we know our solution set includes -5 so C and D are not possible answer choices we can eliminate those

pooja195 (pooja195):

-2.6<-2 is -2.6 less than -2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I said that too Its not D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My computer's gotta shut down soon We're snowed in

pooja195 (pooja195):

good :-) so still a completion between A and B Next number: -2<-2? is -2 less than -2 we're almose done

pooja195 (pooja195):

almost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good so we can eliminate B that leaves us with A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
