Answer:
x< -8
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the inequality, we must get x isolated.
-1/2x>4
We have to perform the inverse operation to both sides. x is being multiplied by -1/2. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by -1/2.
-1/2x / -1/2 > 4/ -1/2
When dividing by fraction, you can also multiply by the reciprocal.
To find the reciprocal, flip the numerator and the denominator.
-1/2–> -2/1
-2/1 *-1/2x > 4* -2/1
x> 4* -2/1
When multiplying or dividing by a negative number in an inequality, you must flip the inequality sign.
x < 4* -2/1
x < 4*-2
x< -8
