Answer:

x > -4

Explanation:

Step 1: To combine like terms means to add the same variable numbers together.

-6x + 5 - 4x < 45

-10x + 5 < 45

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides

-10x + 5 - 5 < 45 - 5

-10x < 40

Step 3: Divide both sides by -10

-10x / -10 < 40 / -10

Since you divided by a negative, you need to reverse/flip the sign.

x > -4

Answer: x > -4
