Question

What is the solution to the inequality 0.8x+20<1.2x−40?

Answer 1

Answer:x=150

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 1.2x from both sides.

0.8x+20−1.2x=1.2x−40−1.2x

−0.4x+20=−40

Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides.

−0.4x+20−20=−40−20

−0.4x=−60

Step 3: Divide both sides by -0.4.

−0.4x

−0.4

=

−60

−0.4
