Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. -10x > 80 answer attempt 1 out of 2 inequality notation: x < number line: submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -10

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

Step2: Simplify

Simplify the left - hand side to \(x\) and the right - hand side.
$$x < - 8$$

Answer:

\(x<-8\)

To graph on the number line: Place an open circle at \(-8\) (because the inequality is strict, \(x
eq - 8\)) and draw an arrow to the left (towards the negative numbers) to represent all values of \(x\) less than \(-8\).
