Question

Solve the inequality below: (Remember to use x < or >or< or > ) and then choose the solution set on the number line below.-4x-5<-25 Part A SOlve the inequality

Answer 1

{x : x > 5}

Explanation:

-4x - 5 < -25

-4x < -20

When dividing/multiplying both sides with a negative number, change the inequality symbol to the opposite direction. e.g. < to > or > to <.

x > -20/-4

x > 5

Hence, the solution set is {x : x > 5}.
