Question

Solve the inequality for x.40 > 5xSimplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

`8>x`

Step-by-step explanation

Given

`40>5x`

To solve for x means we have to set one side in terms of x without any coefficient, and the other the expression left.

Thus, we can divide both sides of the equation over 5 :

`(40)/(5)>(5x)/(5)`

Simplifying:

`8>x`
