Question 283028: Determine whether 2 is the solution of the equality:
x>-2
yes or no Found 2 solutions by dabanfield, nabla:Answer by dabanfield(803) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The question is this:
Is 2>-2? In words: is 2 bigger than -2? We can add numbers to both sides and retain the inequality. So the question is the same as:
Is 2+2>-2+2? Rather, is 4>0? If you have four of something, don't you have more than if you had none of something?
You can also draw a number line.
-2 -1 0 1 2
The number line by definition adheres to a property called induction which retains the situation that n < n+1
