I know this is wrong. I've tried a couple of things, but can't figure out where we're going wrong. Thank you for showing us how to get the right answer.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! problem is
-5(x-1)<5(x+1). Here is what we've tried so far:
-5(x-1)<5(x+1)
-5x+5<5x+5
this should be
-5x - 5x < 5 - 5
-10x < 0
Remember the variable has to be positive, multiply by -1,
the inequality has to be reversed when you change signs, so you have
10x > 0
x > 0
