Answer:

-4<11-(32/10)

Inequality is always true

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "3.2" was replaced by "(32/10)".

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

-4-(11-(32/10))<0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

16

Simplify ——

5

Equation at the end of step 1 :

16

-4 - (11 - ——) < 0

5

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :

11 11 • 5

11 = —— = ——————

1 5

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

11 • 5 - (16) 39

————————————— = ——

5 5

Equation at the end of step 2 :

39

-4 - —— < 0

5

Step 3 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :

-4 -4 • 5

-4 = —— = ——————

1 5

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

-4 • 5 - (39) -59

————————————— = ———

5 5

Equation at the end of step 3 :

-59

——— < 0
