Question

the the number line shows the graph of inequalityWhich statement explains wether -3.5 can be a value in the shaded area?optionsYes it can because -3.5 lies to the right of - 1.5no it cannot because minus 3.5 lies the left of -1.5yes I can because mine is 3.5 lies to the left of -1.5no we cannot because mine is 3.5 last the right of -1.5

Answer 1

Given the information on the picture, the inequality can be written like this:

`x<-1.5`

therefore, x can be any value less than -1.5.

Now, -3.5 can be in the shaded area, because -3.5 < -1.5, that is, -3.5 lies to the left of -1.5
