4/5x + 5 < -3

OpenStudy (igreen):

Subtract 5 to both sides. 4/5x + 5 < -3 4/5x < -3 - 5

OpenStudy (igreen):

What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/5x< -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's next?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Now we divide 4/5 to both sides, or multiply 5/4.. So what's 5/4 * -8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me an example on how to do that

OpenStudy (igreen):

5/4 is the same thing as 1.25. So you can multiply 1.25 * -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you just do the whole problem and i'll start learning from there

OpenStudy (igreen):

No do it again.

OpenStudy (igreen):

1.25 * -8 isn't -6.75
