Question

What is the answer to:
-1.5x -3.1 < 5.5

Answer 1

For this case we have the following expression:

`-1.5x-3.1 <5.5`

Adding 3.1 to both sides of the inequality:

`-1.5x <5.5 + 3.1\\-1.5x <8.6`

Dividing between -1.5 on both sides of the inequality, keeping in mind that the sign changes direction:

`x> \frac {8.6} {- 1.5}\\x> -5.73333`

Answer:

`x> -5.73333`
