What is an expression that could be put in the blank so that the inequality would have the same solution set as shown in the graph?
-4 < ______ < 16
The graph is is a numberline shaded between -4 and 6, with an open circle on -4 and open circle on 6.
To find the expression that could be put in the blank to keep the same solution set as shown in the graph, we need to consider the open circles at -4 and 6.
Since the open circle at -4 means that the value cannot be equal to -4, we need to use a strict inequality. Similarly, since the open circle at 6 means that the value cannot be equal to 6, we need to use another strict inequality.
Therefore, the expression that could be put in the blank would be:
-4 < x < 6
In this expression, x represents any real number between -4 and 6, but not including -4 and 6 themselves.
