-5x < 45


Note that if you divide by a negative number, you must flip the sign.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Divide -5 from both sides to isolate the x.


(-5x)/-5 < (45)/-5


x < 45/-5


Simplify


x > -9


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


x > -9 is your answer


hope this helps
