Question

-1/5b+3<-1

Answer 1

\(-\dfrac{1}{5}b + 3 < -1\)

Subtract 3 to both sides:

\(-\dfrac{1}{5}b < -4\)

Divide -1/5 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, -5.

Can you multiply -5 and -4?

Answer 2

Answer 3

\(-5 \cdot -4 = 20\)

So your answer's going to be x > 20, don't forget to switch the sign because you divided by a negative number.
