Question

Solve and graph the inequality.

4/5x + 5 < -3

Answer 1

4/5x + 5 < -3 (multiply the inequality by 5 to get rid of fraction)
4x + 25 < -15 (subtract 25 from both sides)
4x < -15 - 25
4x < -40
x < -10

or

4/5x + 5 < -3 (subtract 5 from both sides)
4/5x < -3-5
4/5x < -8
x < -8/(4/5)
x < -8 * 5/4
x < - 40/4
x < -10

graphing...
are you talking about graphing on a number line ?

Answer 2

It would look like this right?

Answer 3

if so, open circle(because there is no equal sign) on -10, shading to the left (because x is less then)

yes...it is that number line graph

Answer 4

Ok, thank you!

Answer 5

no problem :)
