Question

Which of the following numbers is not part of the solution x ≤ -2

Answer 1

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for it to be the solution, it must be less than or equal to -2. D (-1.76) is bigger than -2, which means it is not a part of the solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let's try all of the options available.

We know that x must be LESS THAN or EQUAL to -2

So, let's get on with it!

Option A:

Is -2.45 LESS THAN or EQUAL to -2?

Well, according to the number line, if the number is left of the number that you are comparing, -2 then it is less than.

So this option is alright.

Option B:

-2 is not LESS THAN but ONLY EQUAL to -2.

So this option I THINK is alright, but am not sure. But I think it is alright because if it is less than and equal to, then that means it ALSO INCLUDES -2.

Option C:

Again, -8 is located to the LEFT side of -2, which means -8 IS LESS THAN or Equal to -2.

So this option is alright.

Option D:

-1.76 is to the RIGHT side of -2, which means it is GREATER than -2.

So this option is CUT OFF

Hope this helps.

If you got it wrong , I am truly sorry...  pls mark me brainliest if possible... I've never been marked that.
