To solve the inequality 5x < 0, divide both sides by 5:
x < 0/5
x < 0
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 0.
Graphing this solution on the number line:
<-----0----------------------------------->
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
The open circle represents x = 0 and the shaded region to the left of 0 represents all the values of x that are less than 0.
Solve for xx and graph the solution on the number line below.
5, x, is less than, 0
5x<
0
