Question

8)

Which inequality statement describes the two numbers: - 22 and a number 47 units to the right of -22?
A)
-22 > 47
B)
-22 < 47
C)
-22 > 25
D)
-22 < 25

Answer 1

D) -22 < 25

Explanation:

If the number is 47 units to the right, then the number will be larger than -22, because negative values get larger the closer they are to zero.

47 units right from -22 is the same as: -22 + 47, which equals 25.

So, we can conclude that -22 < 25 is the inequality.

hope this helps!
