RATIONALE
This number line represents a range of values,
which indicates that x will be between the two
numbers, 2 and 5. The open circle at 2
indicates that we cannot include the exact
value of 2 in our solution, so use the inequality
sign for less than: <. The closed circle at 5
indicates that we can include the exact value
of 5 in our solution, so use the inequality sign
for less than or equal to, ≤.
This inequality states that x is between, but
not including, -2 and exactly 5.
