Question 146059


{{{-(5/8)x>=-7/16}}} Start with the given inquality.



{{{16(-(5/8)x)>=16(-7/16)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{16}}} to clear any fractions. note: If you need help with finding the LCD, check out this <a href="http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/divisibility/least-common-multiple.solver">solver</a>. 



{{{-10x>=-7}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{x<=(-7)/(-10)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-10}}} to isolate {{{x}}}. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number. 



{{{x<=7/10}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{x<=7/10}}} 



Which approximates to {{{x<=0.7}}}
