Solution Steps

Step 1: Find the endpoints

The endpoints of the highlighted section of the number line are -2 and 5. The endpoint at -2 is a closed circle which signifies that -2 is included in the interval. The endpoint at 5 is an open circle, so 5 is not included in the interval.

Step 2: Write the compound inequality

The highlighted numbers are greater than or equal to -2 and less than 5. So, the compound inequality is:

-2 ≤ x < 5

Final Answer:

-2 ≤ x < 5
