Question

Solve the following inequalities for x .-5x + 9 < 64 *

Answer 1

`x > - 11`

Step by step explanations:

1) Subtract 9 from both sides.

`- 5x < 64 - 9`

2) Simplify 64 - 9 to 55.

`- 5x < 55`

3) Divide both sides by -5.

`x > - (55)/(5)`

4) Simplify 55/5 to 11.

`x > - 11`

therefor, the answer is x > - 11.
