1/8x -5 < -8

I know that I add 5 to both sides, but that gives me:
1/8x < -3
which results in something along the lines of ".375" and I'm NOT allowed to answer in decimals

Answer:


x<-24

Explanation:

You are correct, you do add 5 to both sides and get


(x)/(8) <-3

Then you multiply by 8 on both sides to get


x<-24
