Answer:

Explanation:

To determine which inequality (or inequalities) contains the set {-1.7, -0.8, 0.5, 1.25}, we can plug in each of these values into each of the inequalities and see which ones are true.

For example, if we plug in -1.7 into each of the inequalities, we get:

-1.7 < 2

-1.7 > -3

-1.7 + 2 > 0

-1.7 - 2 < 0

Out of these four inequalities, only the second one (-1.7 > -3) is true.

Similarly, if we plug in the other values, we get:

-0.8 < 2

-0.8 > -3

-0.8 + 2 > 0

-0.8 - 2 < 0

0.5 < 2

0.5 > -3

0.5 + 2 > 0

0.5 - 2 < 0

1.25 < 2

1.25 > -3

1.25 + 2 > 0

1.25 - 2 < 0

From this, we see that all four values are greater than -3 and less than 2, so the set {-1.7, -0.8, 0.5, 1.25} is included in the solution set to the inequality -3 < x < 2.

Therefore, the answer is: -3 < x < 2.
