Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So given the values on the number line, AB and BC, adding them together will get the length of AC. If AB equals

and BC equals

, the value of AC should be

. Since you are given the length of AC,

, you can create an equation to solve for x. This equation would be

. Isolating the x on the left (or right hand side) gets the value of x to be 19. The same thing goes for the 2nd question.
Answer:
Below
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5 > -1
Treat the equality sign (ex. < >) as the costumary equal sign (=).
2x + 5 + (-5) > -1 + (-5) ---- -5 will cancel out the 5 on the left
2x/2 > -6/2 ------ divide by 2 to single out the x
x > -3
Remember to draw an open dot. Draw an arrow from -3 to the extreme right.
