Question

Solve the inequality for x.40 > 5xSimplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

Answer

$8>x$

Explanation

Given

$40>5x$

To solve for x means we have to set one side in terms of x without any coefficient, and the other the expression left.

Thus, we can divide both sides of the equation over 5 :

$\frac{40}{5}>\frac{5x}{5}$

Simplifying:

$8>x$
