Write the word sentence as an inequality.
A number d is greater than −5
The inequality would be:
d > -5
To write the inequality for the statement "A number d is greater than -5," we use the greater than symbol (>), which represents that d is larger than -5. The inequality can be written as:
d > -5
In this inequality, d represents any number greater than -5.
To picture this inequality on a number line, we would represent -5 as a point on the number line and shade the area to the right, since d is greater than -5.
