Solution:

Given:

The inequality;


4-5x<14

Collecting the like terms,


\begin{gathered} 4-5x<14 \\ -5x<14-4 \\ -5x<10 \\ \text{Dividing both sides by -5, the inequality sign changes when both sides of the inequality is multiplied or divided by a negative number } \\ x>(10)/(-5) \\ x>-2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the range of values of x are;


x>-2
