		<description>1) HOw is this so in the first problem:

We may know that the numerator (m – n) is positive ?


2) Does exercise 2 relevant to questions exactly similar to it, wiht number line shown, or we can draw a line to help us solve many of those crazy inequalities and absolute values ? Please, provide example.</description>

		<description>Pink,

When you multiply both sides by (M + N) to then get -n 1, which is impossible. But even so, (1) tells you that n&lt;-2, so n=0 is not an option regardless.</description>

		<description>Posting again, as some characters were fudged

In the problem, m!=n , (m-n)/(m+n) &gt; 1 ?

1) n  1

My doubt is - why can&#039;t it be A). After simplifying the question, we get -n &lt; n. So i plug in different values for n.
( -3, 0, 3) So the values -3 and 0 violates the equation
( -n &lt; n). And only the +ve value i.e +3 satifies (-n 1 , there is no variable in the equation (-n &lt; n). So we can eliminate B,C,D,E

		<description>While you are correct that each point on the line fits the descriptions provided in A and B, they are not exact. There are points in the range provided in A (like -3) that fit its description but are not in the image provided. So while it fits, it is overinclusive.

D represents the exact range, and does not include anything not in the range.

Keep an eye out for phrases like &quot;most accurately&quot; in the stimulus.</description>

		<description>Why is it not choice A for your second question above?  The absolute value of x is less than or equal to 4, which is true if you plug in all the possible numbers on the number line.  In fact, choice B, the absolute value of x is less than or equal to 5, is correct as well.  Please explain why the correct answer is choice D instead.  

Thanks.</description>
