The number line shows which expression? And here are your potential answers...
- 00:10
OK, so we note 2 very important things right off the bat - there are open circles,
- 00:14
at the points negative 2 and positive 4.
- 00:17

than or less than but not equal to...

So right away we can see that A and C are going to be raccoon food.
- 00:28
Let's brute force the rest... we'll take a look at E and work our way up.
- 00:32
Here, x is GREATER than negative 4... but already we're in foul territory because the
- 00:36
line here doesn't connect or tie in with negative 4 at all...
- 00:39
...it just crosses over it... so we can quickly toss E. On to D.
- 00:44
Here x is bigger than negative 2... which also doesn't work.
- 00:47
The line shown is LOWER or more negative than negative 2, not bigger. So we can toss D.
- 00:54
Last chance is B... which ... works!
- 00:57
X is smaller or more negative than negative 2 and not equal to it here - check;
- 01:02
...and x is greater than but not equal to positive 4 here - check.
- 01:07
B is our answer. Done.
