Do you want to solve for x?

-4x-15%3C25 Start with the given inequality



-4x%3C25%2B15Add 15 to both sides


-4x%3C40 Combine like terms on the right side


x%3E%2840%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



x%3E-10 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x%3E-10
