Question 413541
To isolate 's', simply divide both sides by -8. However, remember to flip the sign (this is probably what you missed). Note: when you multiply/divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the sign will flip.


So you should go from {{{2<-8s}}} to {{{2/(-8)>s}}}, which simplifies to {{{-1/4>s}}}



So the solution is {{{s<-1/4}}}
