Question

Which of the following is the solution set to the inequality −25x+14>20?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C. $x < -15$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct inequality is

$-\frac{2}{5}x+14 >20$

Solve for x

subtract 14 both sides

$-\frac{2}{5}x+14-14 >20-14$

$-\frac{2}{5}x >6$

Multiply by -1 both sides

$\frac{2}{5}x < -6$

Multiply by 5/2 both sides

$x < -6(\frac{5}{2})$

$x < -15$
