5 x < - 25

can you check.
5x<-25

25
--------
0
so that equals x < 0

and i have a question
is my teacher trying to find a method
or an answer from me?

5 x < -25

divide both sides by 5

x < -5

everything left of -5 on nunber line

I am working on graphing.

i do not need help on graphing
i need to know
what
1. reflect in the x- axis
2. dilate a scale factor of 1/2
please answer my questions

oh and the numbers are
a= (-2,4) b= (0,2) c= (-2, 6-)
for both of the questions.

It seems like you correctly solved the inequality 5x<-25. By dividing both sides of the inequality by 5, you found that x is less than 0, which is the correct solution.

Regarding your question about your teacher, it is difficult for me to determine your teacher's exact intentions without more context. However, it is possible that your teacher is looking for both a method and an answer from you. In mathematics, it is important to not only find the correct solution but also to demonstrate the correct method or reasoning behind it.

To clarify this with your teacher, you can ask for feedback on both the answer you provided and the method or steps you used to solve the problem. This will help you understand your teacher's expectations and improve your mathematical skills.
