Question

Solve the inequality. -1.5x < 7.5

Answer 1

Answer: x > -5

Explanation:

-1.5x < 7.5

x > -5 (When multiplying both sides by a negative, the inequality is flipped)

Answer 2

`-1.5x < 7.5`

Divide both sides by -1.5:

`(-1.5x)/(-1.5) < (7.5)/(-1.5)`

When dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign will reverse.

Answer:

`x > -5`
