Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below.
-25 > -2x - 5 > -29
answer attempt 1 out of 3
< > ≤ ≥ or
inequality notation:
number line:

Explanation:

Step1: Add 5 to all parts

$$\begin{align*} -25 + 5&> -2x-5 + 5> -29+5\\ -20&> -2x> -24 \end{align*}$$

Step2: Divide all parts by -2 (reverse inequalities)

$$\begin{align*} \frac{-20}{-2}&<\frac{-2x}{-2}<\frac{-24}{-2}\\ 10&

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \(10 < x < 12\)

For the number - line: Draw an open circle at \(x = 10\) (since \(x>10\)) and an open circle at \(x = 12\) (since \(x < 12\)), then connect the two open - circles with a line segment between them on the number - line.
