Question 221124: I need help, please,I have been working on these and I think I have gone brain-dead. 5/4x +1/8 + 7/8 + x, and -0.2x < -18. I just can not seem to figure out how to solve. Thank you for any help you can give. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5/4x +1/8 + 7/8 + x
Is it (5/4)x, or 5/(4x) ??
-------------------
-0.2x < -18
-x < -90 times 5
x>90 times -1 (note the polarity change from < to >)
