Answer:

x < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing this entirely with symbols, we get:

-5(x - 1) > -40

We must solve for x.

Carrying out the multiplication, we get:

-5x + 5 > -40, or

-5x > -45

Dividing both sides by -5 isolates x:

x < 9

Note that when working with an inequality such as this one, dividing both sides by a negative number requires changing the direction of the inequality symbol.
