solve this problem by writing and solving an inqeuality 7 more than four timess a number is less than -40

Answer 1

Let's assume the number is "x".

The given inequality is:
7 + 4x < -40

Now, we can solve the inequality by isolating x:

Subtract 7 from both sides:
4x < -40 - 7
4x < -47

Finally, divide both sides by 4:
x < -47/4

So, the solution to the inequality is x < -47/4.
