Question

Which inequality statement describes the two numbers on a number line?

*-6 and a number 4 units to the left of -6
-4 > -6
9
-10 >-6
D)
-10 <-6

Answer 1

D) -10 < -6

Explanation:

if a number is any units to the left, it is less than the original number. You can either subtract a number or add a negative, whichever does your fancy.

-6 - 4 or -6 + -4

= -10

-10 is less than -6
