Solve 5x/9<8 . Write the improper fraction in your answer as a mixed number. Make sure to write your inequality so that x comes first. Note: You will find the option to add a > , < , ≥ , or ≤ symbol in the Comparison (<) keyboard.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5x/9 < 8, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 9 to get rid of the fraction:

(5x/9) * 9 < 8 * 9

This simplifies to:

5x < 72

Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the inequality by 5:

(5x)/5 < 72/5

Simplifying further:

x < 14.4

The solution to the inequality is x < 14.4.

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the inequality correctly:

5x/9 < 8

To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 9:

9 * (5x/9) < 8 * 9

This simplifies to:

5x < 72

Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for x:

(5x)/5 < 72/5

Simplifying further:

x < 14.4

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 14.4.
