Which of the following is a solution to 1/5x - < 28 ? There's a line under <

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

so how would you solve this if it was an equals sign?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These are the answers X < 150 X > 150 X > 130 X < 130 I think its the first one X < 150 because when I plugged in the numbers I got 28. @FibonacciChick666

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

well, best way to figure it out is to just solve it. So, I ask again, if this was an equals sign, how would you find x? \[\frac{x}{5}=28\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide 28 by 5

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

really? You divide to undo division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply 5 by 28 I guess
