Question

Solve the inequality -1/4 x-6>-5

Answer 1

treat is like a normal equation with an = sign

Answer 2

mult -1/4 by its reciprocal.

Answer 3

by both sides

Answer 4

The only difference between solving this and an equation with an = sign is that when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you flip the inequality

-1/4x-6>-5

add 6 to both sides

-1/4x > 1

divide by both sides by -1/4 and flip the inequality because you are dividing by a negative number

x < -4
