Question

Solve the inequality
-4x - 15 > 5

Answer 1

x < - 5

Explanation:

Given

- 4x - 15 > 5 ( add 15 to both sides )

- 4x > 20

Divide both sides by - 4, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity

x < - 5

Answer 2

• x= -5

Explanation:

-4x - 15 > 5

-4x-15+15>5+15

-4x>20

-4x * (-1) > 20 * (-1)

4x<-20

4x/4= -20/4

x=-5
