To solve the inequality 5x/9 < 8, we can start by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 9 to get rid of the fraction:
9 * (5x/9) < 9 * 8
Simplifying, we have:
5x < 72
Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for x:
(5/5)x < 72/5
Simplifying further, we get:
x < 14.4
So, the solution to the inequality is:
x < 14.4
Written as a mixed number, x would be 14 2/5.
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.
