To solve the inequality 5x/9 < 8, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality sign.
Multiplying both sides of the inequality by 9 (since the denominator is 9) gives:
(5x/9) * 9 < 8 * 9
This simplifies to:
5x < 72
Now, divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for x:
(5x)/5 < 72/5
This simplifies to:
x < 14.4
Therefore, the solution to the inequality 5x/9 < 8 is x < 14.4
5x/9<8
