Answer:

The require step to solve the inequality


-4x < 8 is

Divide by -4 on each side and flip the sign.


\therefore x<-2

Explanation:

What steps should be followed to solve the inequality


-4x < 8

Solution:


-4x < 8

Divide by -4 on each side and flip the sign.

So the equation becomes


(-4x)/(-4)> (8)/(-4)\\ \\

Now minus 4 will get cancel from left and side and in right inside -2 will be there such that (flip the sign)


(x)/(1)> (-2)/(1)\\\\\therefore x>-2
