Answer 1

Answer:

A

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 3 and -1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can represent any linear inequality using any of the following forms:

$x > b$

$x < b$

$x \geq b$

$x\leq b$

When the sign is pointing towards x, it means that x is greater than b.

The line under the greater sign means that x can also equal b.

In your case, b is -4., as that is the point at which numbers are no longer part of the set. An open dot over -4 is a way to represent that -4 is not a part of the solution - so x cannot equal -4.

The options given:

• 3: is greater than -4
• -5: is not greater than -4
• -1/2: is greater than -4
• -4.5: is not greater than -4
• -4: is not greater than -4.

So, your solutions are 3 and -1/2.
