Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first and try to isolate x.

-2x < 5

(Divide by -2)

x > -5/2 ( < changes to > b/c it was divided by a negative)

x > -2.5

Since x is all values greater than -2.5, -6 is not within those bounds.

Thus, -6 is not a solution to the inequality.

Hope that helps!

-8 equals x + 11 / -2

If the equation is $-8=x+\frac{11}{-2}$ :

$-8=x+\frac{11}{-2}\\-8=x-\frac{11}{2}\\-8+\frac{11}{2}=x-\frac{11}{2}+\frac{11}{2}\\-\frac{16}{2}+\frac{11}{2}=x\\x=-\frac{5}{2}=-2\frac{1}{2}$

If the equation is $-8=\frac{x+11}{-2}$ :

$-8=\frac{x+11}{-2}\\-8(-2)=\frac{x+11}{-2}(-2)\\16=\frac{-2(x+11)}{-2}\\16=x+11\\16-11=x+11-11\\x=5$

Hopefully the math was self-explanatory. If it is not, please feel free to ask for a step-by-step, in depth explanation, and I will edit my answer to accommodate.
