Question

4-5x<14what is the value of x

Answer 1

Solution:

Given:

The inequality;

$4-5x<14$

Collecting the like terms,

$\begin{gathered} 4-5x<14 \\ -5x<14-4 \\ -5x<10 \\ \text{Dividing both sides by -5, the inequality sign changes when both sides of the inequality is multiplied or divided by a negative number } \\ x>\frac{10}{-5} \\ x>-2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the range of values of x are;

$x>-2$
