Question

Solve the following inequality for x. -5x < -15x + 40 a. x > -2.00 b. x > 4 c. x < 4 d. x < -2.00

Answer 1

c. x < 4

Explanation:

-5x < -15x + 40

bring -15x to the left to combine like terms

-5x +15x < -15x + 15x + 40

10x < 40

divided both sides by 10 to get x alone

10x / 10 < 40 / 10

x < 4
