Question

Use < , > , = , ≤ , ≥ to complete these statements. 1) if x < y , then y___ x, 2) if x > 5 and 5 > y, then x ___ y, 3) if x is four at most, then x ___ 4, 4) if x - y = 0, then x ___ y Can someone please help me I've been stuck on these for 3 days.​

Answer 1

1) y > x

2) x > 5 > y

3) x ≤ 4 ( or 4 ≥ x )

4) x = y

Explanation:

1) 1. y is greater than x

2. so y > x

2) 1. 5 is less than x and more than y

2. we can write this like x > 5 > y

3. you can just squish them together as a shortcut usually: x > 5 and 5 > y --> x > 5 > y

3) 1. x is for at most, we can say this as x is less than or equal to 4

2. this is written as x ≤ 4 or 4 ≥ x

4) 1. x - y = 0 so x and y must be the same value

2. therefore x = y
