it's wrong because he put a closed circle on the nine when he was supposed to put an open circle because nine is not less than itself but the thing that he did right wad that he went to the left if it was a greater than or equal symbol then it would be correct
hope this helps

Answer:
10.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be x ≠ 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First start with the left side, doing distributive property
So... -2(x) = -2x and -2(5) = -10 Therefore on the left side you now have -2x -10
Next do the same on the right side
-2(x) = - 2x and -2(-2) = 4 so you have -2x + 4 + 5 and you add 4 and 5, leaving you with -2x + 9
Now that you have simplified both sides the problem now looks like this:
-2x - 10 = -2x + 9
Because you have equal terms on both sides (-2) those cancel out so you have -10 = 9
Just from looking at this we know that the statement is false because -1o does not equal 9
*The symbol, "≠" means not equal to"
