Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -10

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

Step2: Simplify the expressions

We get $x < - 8$.

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x < - 8$
To graph on the number - line: Draw an open circle at - 8 (since the inequality is strict, i.e., $x$ is less than but not equal to - 8) and draw an arrow to the left of - 8 to represent all the values of $x$ that satisfy the inequality.
