This problem demonstrates a WeBWorK Matching question.

Match the statements defined below with the letters labeling their equivalent expressions.
You must get all of the answers correct to receive credit.

1. $x$ is any real number
2. The distance from $x$ to -6 is less than or equal to 2
3. The distance from $x$ to -6 is more than 2
4. $x$ is less than or equal to -6
5. $x$ is less than -6

A. $x \leq -6$
B. $|x + 6| \leq 2$
C. $|x + 6| \gt 2$
D. $-\infty \lt x \lt \infty$
E. $x \lt -6$

For this problem WeBWorK only tells you that all your answers are correct or that at least one is wrong. This makes the problem harder and is usually used only for T/F and matching questions. The idea is encourage you think rather than to just try guessing.
