<h3>
Answer: -5 < x < 2</h3>
Explanation:
The expression -2x means -2 times x. To undo this, we divide all parts of the inequality by -2. Dividing by a negative number will flip the inequality sign. We go from "less than" to "greater than"
-4 < -2x < 10
-4/(-2) > x > 10/(-2) .... inequality signs flip
2 > x > -5
-5 < x < 2
This unknown number x is between -5 and 2. It cannot equal -5. It cannot equal 2.
There are 2 ways to do this. I'm going to do it the way that I think is most simple.
You have to find their LCM which is 40. Now times 40 to 1/4 v and 7/10
The equation then becomes 10+40v=28
You simplify it: 40v=18
v= 9/20
