4. A list of numbers is given below. If x is a number
in this list, which inequality could represent x?
{-5, -12,-2,-9}
A. x < -13
B. x < -1
C. x>-12
D. x < -2

Answer 1

B. x < -1

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's put them in order from greatest to least:

• 
  `\{-2,-5,-9,-12\}`

Given our possible inequalities, we need to find the inequality that contains all of these values.

The inequality that works is x < -1, as all values are less than -1.

Therefore, the answer is B. x < -1.
