The first step is to simplify the inequality. We'll start by distributing the 5 on the left side:
5(4x + 1) < 5
20x + 5 < 5
Now, let's isolate the variable on one side of the inequality. We'll subtract 5 from both sides:
20x + 5 - 5 < 5 - 5
20x < 0
Finally, we'll divide both sides by 20 to solve for x:
20x/20 < 0/20
x < 0
The solution set is all values of x that are less than 0.
In interval notation, this can be written as: (-∞, 0).
Solve the inequality. Graph the solution set and write it in interval notation.
5(4x + 1) < 5
