If x is an integer
1. x+1<-3 2. x-3>0
3. 2x-4>6 4. -3x+2>-1
5. 7-x<-1 6. 4-x>0

I don't understand either.

What answers do you want?
Are they
1. x < -4
2. x > 3
3. x > 5
4. x < 1
5. x > 8
6. x < 4

If so, it is just algebra and what is the point ?
(Gee, I hope I got it right, so many years after primary school maths and
somewhat less since graduating in Maths at Uni. - the latter was only 41
years ago, the former 53.)

I was going to answer true and false.
However without knowing the value of X it's not really possible.

Assuming x=1 then I agree with your answers

That could be a fair assumption except for all of the correct answers. 8)

My guess is that the kid had some homework to do on Mathematical
Expressions, which is what all of the questions displayed. He probably
Googled "Expression" or "Expressions" and found this forum, where he posted
his question. As he is obviously clueless, I wouldn't expect him to find his
way back here and read the answers. ;-)

The shortest distance between 2 points is a curve.

Good thinking, Kevin.
Anyway it was a bit of fun.
The shortest distance between 2 points is a curve.

Yes, it is on the surface of the earth.

But abstracting from the general to the specific: even a straight line is a
curve - it is an arc of a circle with infinite radius

Except fo the fact that we're in the FP forum not the Expressions
forum...but yer right on.
