document.write( "-2(5x+1) > 48\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To solve this inequality, divide both sides by (-2) as the first step.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Since you divide both sides by a negative number, change the inequality sign to the opposite one. You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "an equivalent inequality\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5x + 1 < - 24\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5x < -24 - 1 \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "5x < -25\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "x < -5.\r\n" );
