for any fraction a/b, the decimal format of it is just a ÷ b.
A)
is the number rational?
well, a rational number is one we can write as a ration or fraction, well clearly is a fraction so it is rational.
B)
can it be written as a repeating/recurring decimal? well, 9/20 is 0.45, so -9/20 is -0.45, no repeating decimal like 0.454545......... , just a plain vanilla -0.45, so nope.
C)
is it less than -0.4?
well, let's recall that for the negative side on the number line, the closer to 0, the larger the number, so then -1,000,000 is much smaller than -1, because -1 is closer to 0.
who is closer -0.4 or -0.45?
|--------------------- -0.45 -------- -0.40 ------------------- 0 --------------- 1 -------------------|
so, -0.45 is farther from 0, and therefore is smaller than -0.4, so yes.

Answer:
x = - 1, x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2| x + 6 | - 4 = 6 ( add 4 to both sides )
2|x + 6 | = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
| x + 6 | = 5
The absolute value function always gives a positive result, but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
x + 6 = 5 or - (x + 6) = 5
solve both
x + 6 = 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = - 1
or
- (x + 6) = 5 , that is
- x - 6 = 5 ( add 6 to both sides )
- x = 11 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 11
