Question

Complete the conditional statement. If 2 > -a, then _____. a < -2 a > 2 a < 2 a > -2

Answer 1

Answer:

a > –2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be 1...

1 < -2 ❌

1 > 2 ❌

1 < 2 ✔

1 > -2 ✔

Now let the no. be 3...

3 < -2❌

3 > 2 ✔

3 < 2 ❌

3 > ‐2✔

So a > -2 is satisfying both the cases.

Answer 2

If 2 > -a, then a > -2

QUESTION:-

Complete the conditional statement. If 2 > -a, then _____. a < -2 a > 2 a < 2 a > -2

GIVEN:- 2 > -a

TO FIND:- the conditional statement

SOLUTION:-

• When we shift a negative sign from one side to another in an inequality equation then the greater sign changes its side.
• In an inequality equation, the two expressions are not certainly equal which is indicated by the symbols: >, <, ≤ or ≥.

$2 > - a \\ - 2 < a \\ a > - 2$

Let's assume a = 1

• 1<-2 wrong answer
• 1>2 wrong answer
• 1<2 correct answer
• 1>-2 correct answer

Now let's assume a = 3.

• 3<-2 wrong answer
• 3>2 correct answer
• 3<2 wrong answer
• 3>-2 correct answer

Therefore a > -2 is satisfying both the conditions

Hence, Complete the conditional statement. If 2 > -a, then a > -2
