Question

solve for ( x ) and graph the solution on the number line below.

( -10x>80 )

answer attempt 1 out of 5

inequality notation:

number line:

submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -10

When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, $\frac{-10x}{-10}<\frac{80}{-10}$

Step2: Simplify

Simplifying gives $x < - 8$

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x < - 8$

For the number line: Place an open circle at -8 (since -8 is not included in the solution) and draw an arrow to the left (towards the smaller numbers) to represent all values of $x$ that are less than -8.
