Question

4/5x + 5 < -3 A. x < –10

B. x ≤ 0

C. x > 5

D. x ≥ –10

Answer 1

Well what you want to do first....is isolate the 'x' so subtract 5 from both sides...this will leave you with

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }x < -8\]

Now you would multiply both sides of the equation by 5/4 to solve for 'x'

\[x = -8 \times \frac{ 5 }{ 4 }\]

Which leaves you with

\[x < -10\]
