Asked by 🦊 MarcusFoxx 🦊

Hey, I'm kinda confused about this.
I just did an assessment, and the inequality [ p + 5 < 10 ] came up, and I thought, "Hey, -5 (one of the answer choices) plus 5 = zero, and zero's less than ten!" So, I selected it, but it was wrong. I don't want just the answer, I just want an explanation on how this is.
Thanks to anyone that responds!

Oh, sorry, I forgot to put the answer choices.
1) p < -15
2) p < 5 (Correct response)
3) p < 15
4) p < -5 (My answer)

If the answer is <5 that means its the number (0,1,2,3,4) and if you add all of them up into the problem... for example [ 3 + 5 < 10 ] which is 7 < 10 that's why it is < LESS THAN 5

Thanks, @lilkakes, but I still don't understand how that is. I might just call my teacher later today, but thanks again! :)

Subtract 5 from both sides.

CHEATER

It's not cheating if I'm just asking how it's done afterward. It's cheating if I'm asking what the answers are before.
