Question

Solve for x Enter the solutions from least to greatest . (x - 4)(- 5x + 1) = 0 lesser x = greater x =

Answer 1

Lesser x = ⅕

greater x = 4

Explanation:

(x - 4)(-5x + 1) = 0

Write each factor separately

✔️(x - 4) = 0

x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides

x = 4

✔️(-5x + 1) = 0

-5x + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from each side

-5x = 0 - 1

-5x = -1

Divide both sides by -5

x = -1/-5

x = ⅕

✔️Lesser x = ⅕

greater x = 4
