Question 539963: Solve -4(x � 2) < 2 ( x + 1). When I work this out I get -6x<-10. When I then divide by -6, which means that when dividing by negative numbers you must flip the symbol it would say x > 1.667. But that is incorrect. X = 1.667. What would the correct answer be in inequality language?
