Question

Solve the inequality.

−9<−1/5x









Solve the inequality.

−9<−1/5x

Answer 1

Multiplying a negative and a positive equals a negative: (-) × (+) = (-)

`- 9 < - ( 1)/(5) x`

Multiplying both side of the inequality by -5 and flip the inequality sign:

`( - 5) * ( - 9) = 45`

`45 > x`

Now, swap the sides of the inequality and flip the inequality sign:

`x < 45`
