Solve the one-variable inequality 8x−5<−5 .(1 point) x<

1 answer

To solve the inequality \( 8x - 5 < -5 \), follow these steps:

  1. Add \( 5 \) to both sides of the inequality: \[ 8x - 5 + 5 < -5 + 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ 8x < 0 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by \( 8 \): \[ x < 0 \]

So the solution to the inequality is: \[ x < 0 \]
