9x%2B40%3C=15-x Start with the given inequality.


9x%3C=15-x-40 Subtract 40 from both sides.


9x%2Bx%3C=15-40 Add x to both sides.


10x%3C=15-40 Combine like terms on the left side.


10x%3C=-25 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C=%28-25%29%2F%2810%29 Divide both sides by 10 to isolate x.


x%3C=-5%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x%3C=-5%2F2
