To solve the inequality 5X/9 < 8, we need to isolate X.
First, we can start by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 9 to get rid of the fraction:
9 * (5X/9) < 9 * 8
This simplifies to:
5X < 72
To isolate X, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
5X/5 < 72/5
This simplifies to:
X < 14.4
Since X is the variable coming first in the inequality, the answer can be written as:
X < 14 4/10 (in mixed number form)
Solve 5X/9<8 write the improper fraction in your answers as a mixed number make sure to write your inequality, so that X comes first
