Question

Which graph describes the open sentence -5<n-2<2?

Answer 1

-5<n-2<2

First you need to get n by itself, so add 2 to all 3 terms:

-5 +2 ≤ n-2+2 ≤ 2+2

Simplify:

-3 ≤ n ≤ 4

The less than or equal to signs (≤) mean the dots on the line graph are solid.

And n is between -3 and positive 4, the 3rd graph is the correct one.
