are you sure you have the question right?
because none of those options fit the inequality.

i changed it sorry for the confusion

welshfella · Answer

yea that looks better!

sorry gomen ><

welshfella · Answer

x/4 >-8x
x/4 + 8x >= 0
 x >= 0

welshfella · Answer

none of the options is correct

mathmale · Answer

Assuming that your "x/4≥−8x" is correct, then another way in which to write this inequality is $$\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }~x≥−8x$$

mathmale · Answer

Multiply both sides of this inequality by 4 to clear fractions:$$4(\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }~x≥−8x)$$

mathmale · Answer

This results in $$x \ge-32x$$

mathmale · Answer

Add 32x to both sides.  Can you now solve the resulting inequality for x?
