how would I solve
20-4/5x_>16
20+-+%284%2F5%29x+%3E=+16

-+%284%2F5%29x+%3E=+16+-+20 ----- Subtract 20 from each side

-+%284%2F5%29x+%3E=+-+4

x+%3C=+%28-+4%29%2F%28-4%2F5%29 ---- Inequality sign changes when dividing by a negative value

x+%3C+=+-+4%28-5%2F4%29

Therefore, highlight_green%28x+%3C=+5%29
