Question

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 1

`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`
