To solve the problem, "a number is greater than -5," let's understand the comparison and validate it using an example.
1. Understand the Inequality:
- The statement "a number is greater than -5" can be represented mathematically as [tex]\( x > -5 \)[/tex].
2. Example Verification:
- To check the correctness of this statement, let us choose a specific number and determine if it satisfies the condition [tex]\( x > -5 \)[/tex].
- Let's pick [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex] for our example number.
3. Comparing the Example:
- We need to check if 0 is greater than -5.
- Indeed, 0 is greater than -5.
4. Verification:
- Since 0 is greater than -5, the statement is true for this particular example.
Hence, we see that the number 0 indeed satisfies the condition [tex]\( x > -5 \)[/tex], making the statement valid. This process confirms the inequality using our example number.
