Question

Solve the inequality:

-5x < 20

Question 1 options:

x > -15


x < -4


x > -4


x < 15

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(-5x < 20\), we start by dividing both sides by \(-5\). Remember that when dividing or multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality sign.

\[
-5x < 20
\]

Dividing both sides by \(-5\):

\[
x > -4
\]

So, the solution is:

\(x > -4\)

Therefore, the correct option is:

**x > -4**
