Question

Solve: -4x < 20
x < 5
x > 5
x < -5
x > -5

Answer 1

The answer is x > -5

Answer 2

To solve the inequality, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:

-4x < 20      Divide -4 on both sides to get "x" by itself

$\frac{-4x}{-4} <\frac{20}{-4}$   when you multiply/divide a negative number to both sides of the inequality, you have to flip the inequality sign

x > -5

Your answer is the 4th option
