Answer : -12 < x < 2.5

Explanation : x is bigger than -12 but smaller than 2.5

The statement - 'x is between –12 and 2.5' can be written in inequality form as -

[tex]-12 < x < 2.5[/tex]

We have a statement : x is between –12 and 2.5.

We have to write it as a mathematical inequality.

Consider the following : if [tex]x[/tex] is between α and β, such that -

α < 0  and  β > 0, then express this statement as inequality.

We can write the inequality as follows -

α < [tex]x[/tex] < β (Since α is less then 0, it will be less then β)

Similarly, we can write the statement - 'x is between –12 and 2.5' in the form of a mathematical inequality as :

- 12 < [tex]x[/tex] < 2.5

Hence, the statement - 'x is between –12 and 2.5' can be written as a mathematical inequality as -

- 12 < [tex]x[/tex] < 2.5
