Question

-4x is - less than 20 (-3)

Answer 1

To solve this inequality, we need to isolate the variable, which means getting x by itself on one side of the inequality.

We have:
-4x < 20(-3)

First, simplify the right side:
-4x < -60

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by -4, but remember to reverse the inequality sign since we are dividing by a negative number:
x > -60/-4

Simplifying further:
x > 15

So the solution to the inequality is x > 15.
