Question 1189721: determine if the statement is true or false. If false, give counter example.
If a is a solution of x < 5, then a is also a solution of x < 5 and x is greater or = to -4
In my head, it seems like its false, but I have no idea how to prove it or write the equation.

The statement is FALSE.

One of many possible counter-examples is a = -5.
