Question 1126236
.
<pre>
-2(5x+1) > 48


To solve this inequality, divide both sides by (-2) as the first step.


Since you divide both sides by a negative number, change the inequality sign to the opposite one. You will get
an equivalent inequality


5x + 1 < - 24

5x < -24 - 1 

5x < -25

x < -5.
</pre>

Solved.
