-%285%2F8%29x%3E=-7%2F16 Start with the given inquality.


16%28-%285%2F8%29x%29%3E=16%28-7%2F16%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 16 to clear any fractions. note: If you need help with finding the LCD, check out this solver.


-10x%3E=-7 Distribute and multiply.


x%3C=%28-7%29%2F%28-10%29 Divide both sides by -10 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C=7%2F10 Reduce.
