Answer 1

x ≤ 40

Explanation:

Given:

`\displaystyle \large{(x)/(-8) \geq -5}`

Multiply both sides by -8 to get clear out the denominator:

`\displaystyle \large{(x)/(-8)\cdot (-8) \geq -5\cdot (-8)}\\\displaystyle \large{x\geq 40}`

Because the LHS (Left-Handed Side) expression is in negative, make sure not to forget to swap the sign from ≥ to ≤

Hence, the solution is x ≤ 40
