Question 1112510
What happens when x is less than or equal to zero?   For example, let x=-5 ... what do you think?

Let's build a table:
<pre>
x          2x           x+2
—         ———           ———
5           10           7
1            2           3
0           0            2
-1         -2            1
-2         -4            0
-5         -10          -3

</pre>
So, now I ask in which column are the values _always_ greater than x?    Remember, the more negative a number is the lower its value ( -10  is less than  -5,  written mathematically  -10 < -5).
