so we know that -2 is the greatest number in this inequality and with that, the 'equation' would look like this-
x<-2
now let us solve a-d-
0.25-2.50=-2.50
-4.25-(-2.75)=-1.5
-3.25-1.75=-5
-4.50-(-5.25)=0.75
**with negative numbers the 'smaller' the number is the greater it actually is ex. -2.50<-1** it works this way because the 'larger' the number gets the further away it becomes from 0 or whole numbers making it smaller than the negative numbers closer to zero such as -1**
hopefully, that makes sense
now let us see which equations fit our inequality- **we'll let the bolded ones mean that they fit the inequality**
