what is the solution for this inequality -10x <40

Sagot :

-10x<40 | :(-10)
when we divide by negative numbers, we change the sign , so "<" becomes ">"
x>40:(-10)
x>-4

Hi there! :)

Answer:

x>-4

*The answer must have a negative sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you multiply by -1 from both sides of an equation.

(-10x)(-1)>40(-1)

Then, you simplify.

10x>-40

You divide by 10 from both sides of an equation.

[tex]\frac{10x}{10}>\frac{-40}{10}[/tex]

Finally, you divide by the numbers from left to right.

[tex]40/10=4[/tex]

Final answer is x>-4

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)
