Write the following as an inequality.
3 is greater than or equal to x, and -2 is less than
Use only once in your inequality
" .... and -2 is less than" is incomplete.
You are probably looking for
-2 < x ≤ 3
3 ≥ x > -2
To write the given information as an inequality, we can use the symbols for "greater than or equal to" (≥) and "less than" (<).
The given statement can be translated into the following inequality using these symbols:
3 ≥ x > -2
Explanation:
The inequality 3 ≥ x indicates that x should be greater than or equal to 3. This means that x can be 3, or any number greater than 3.
The inequality x > -2 indicates that x should be greater than -2. This means that x can be any number greater than -2, but it cannot be equal to -2.
Combining both inequalities, we get:
3 ≥ x > -2
