Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.
−10x<40
Step 1: Divide both sides by -10.
−10x
−10
<
40
−10
x>−4
Answer:
x>−4

Answer 2

Remember that when you multiply or divide by a negative value across an inequality... you have change the direction of the inequality.

So, in solving for x, when you divide by -10, you need to change the inequality.

Answer 3

so the answer is x> 4

Answer 4

Not quite, what is 40/-10?

Remember positive / negative = negative
