Question 736959


{{{4x-8<-2.5}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{10(4x-8)<10(-2.5)}}} Multiply both sides by 10 to clear out the decimals.



{{{40x-80<-25}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{40x<-25+80}}} Add {{{80}}} to both sides.



{{{40x<55}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x<(55)/(40)}}} Divide both sides by {{{40}}} to isolate {{{x}}}. 



{{{x<11/8}}} Reduce.
