Answer:

C. -3

Explanation:

Given

Inequality; -5 < x < 0

Required:

A possible value of x

First, the inequality needs to be interpreted

The inequality reads.

-5 < x < 0

This means -5 is less than x and x is also less than 0

In other words, x is greater than -5 and x is less than 0.

With the illustration above, x starts from-4 and ends at -1, i.e. the range of x can be said to be -4 to -1

Possible Values of x: -4,-3,-2,-1

From. Option A through D, only -3 which is option C can be seen in this range.

Hence, -3 is a possible value
