how to solve? -5x+4<44

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so you would move 4 to the other side of the < sign. To do that you would subtract 4 from both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you would divide the number to the right by 5 to get x by itself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correction you would divide by -5. Followed by that you would then have your answer to x. To check it plug your answer in for x and check to see that you got the right answer.

5x=44?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40/-5??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. so then you r answer would be -8 correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thanks:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then just plug in -8 for x to check it. So -5(-8)<44 = -5(-8)=40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40<44

OpenStudy (richyw):

just do everything you would do if it was an equal sign.
