What I'm asking is what do I put in the number line in what order for number 3

Answer 1

Explanation:

You're mostly right and almost done. The number line should be the easiest step to finish, because you already solved the hard part of the problem. Now, you know that x cannot be greater than 5, it must be less than 5 in order to stay true for the inequality. Just draw a line and label some numbers, probably from 0 to 10 and draw an arrow that's approaching to the left, since the number cannot exceed 5, just remember to not mark 5 on the line, draw an open circle at the top of 5 on the number line.
