Solving an equation is simply like solving an equation. For this problem, you must add 6 on both sides to get -0.8x alone. -10 + 6 would equal -4. Therefore, the inequality would look like this: -0.8x < -4
Now you have to divide -0.8 on both sides to have x alone. Since you are dividing a negative to the other side, the sign flips to >. When you divide -0.8 to -4, the answer would be 5. So therefore, the answer is: x > 5
In order to check this, you must plug in 5 into the x. -0.8 times 5 would equal -4. -4 - 6 would equal -10. -10 is the same as the other side. (-10 < -10) That means the answer would be correct. Hope this helps; cheers, mimiisawesome5
