Question

True or False: If x>4, then x>0 ?
If false please explain.

Answer 1

since > is transitive, and 4>0, x>4 => x>0

Answer 2

So, I am wondering if the statement is true or false.

Answer 3

x>4
4>0
so, x>0

sounds like you need to review what transitivity means.

Also, even without knowing anything about properties, you should know that if you look at the number line, since x is to the right of 4, it is also to the right of 0, since 4 is to the right of 0. Don't be afraid to use your common sense when working on a math problem!

Answer 4

Thanks so much!
