The image shows two inequality problems. The task is to determine if the provided numbers are solutions to the inequalities.

Problem 1: $x > 9$

You need to determine if each number is greater than 9:

• $9$: Not greater than 9. This should have an "X."
• $-8$: Not greater than 9. This should have an "X."
• $0$: Not greater than 9. This should have an "X."
• $1.2$: Not greater than 9. This should have an "X."
• $\frac{5}{2} = 2.5$: Not greater than 9. This should have an "X."

Problem 2: $x \leq -4$

You need to check if each number is less than or equal to -4:

• $-5$: Less than -4. This should have a checkmark (✓).
• $-4$: Equal to -4. This should have a checkmark (✓).
• $1$: Greater than -4. This should have an "X."
• $-4.2$: Less than -4. This should have a checkmark (✓).
• $-\frac{5}{4} = -1.25$: Greater than -4. This should have an "X."

These solutions match the markings shown on the right side of the image.
