Easy question. Solve the inequality -5x<40

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{-5x < 40}$

$\large\text{DIVIDE -5 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{(-5x)/(-5)<(40)/(-5)}$

$\rm{CANCEL\ out: (-5)/(-5) \ because\ that \ gives\ you\ 1}$

$\rm{KEEP: (40)/(-5)\ because \ that \ gives \ you \ what \ you \ are\ comparing}\\\\\rm{to \ the \ x-value}$

$\mathsf{(40)/(-5)=\boxed{\bf -8}}$

$\mathsf{x > -8}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \large \bf x }\bf > \large\textsf{\bf -8}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\boxed{\large\textsf{IT is an O(P)(E)(N)(E)(D) circle shaded to the right}}$

$\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
