Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. -2 > -5 + x answer attempt 1 out of 2 < > ≤ ≥ or inequality notation: number line: -12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 touch and drag to plot line. submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x

Add 5 to both sides of the inequality $-2 > - 5+x$.
$-2 + 5> -5 + x+5$

Step2: Simplify

$3>x$ which can be rewritten as $x < 3$.

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x < 3$
On the number - line, you would draw an open circle at 3 (since the inequality is strict, $x$ cannot equal 3) and draw an arrow to the left to represent all the values of $x$ that are less than 3.
