Question

Solve the inequality -8x < 32

Answer 1

x > -4

Explanation:

-8x < 32

-x < 4

x > -4

Answer 2

x > 4

Explanation:

Given inequality:

-8x < 32

Divide both sides by 8:

⇒ -8x ÷ 8 < 32 ÷ 8

⇒ -x < 4

Divide both sides by -1 (remembering that we need to flip the sign when dividing by a negative):

⇒ -x ÷ -1 < 4 ÷ -1

⇒ x > 4
