Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
x < -2 means that x is any number that is less than -2.
Is -2 less than -2? Answer: No.
A number is equal to itself. A number is not greater than itself or less than itself.
When the solution to an inequality is x < -2, the only values of x that are valid are numbers less than -2. -2 itself is not a valid solution.
