WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! Just help me out with number 2 please. :)

Here is an inequality: -2x > 10.
1. List some values for x that would make this inequality true.
Answer: Any negative number above -5, like -6, -7, etc.

2. How are the solutions to the inequality -2x ≥ 10 different from the solutions to
-2x > 10? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

  -5 is included in the solution set of the first, but not the second

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to -2 ≥ 10 is x ≤ -5. The solution to -2x > 10 is x < -5. The difference is that x = -5 is included in the solution set of the first inequality, but is not included in the solution set of the second inequality.

When plotted on a number line, the former inequality has a solid dot at -5, indicating that point is included. The latter inequality has an open dot (circle) at -5, indicating that point is not included. (Both plots are shaded to the left of the dot.)
