Question

Which of the following represents the inequality shown below when solved for x?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C. $x < -\frac{14}{5}y$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$-\frac{5x}{8} > \frac{14y}{8}$

Solve for x

That means ---> isolate the variable x

Multiply by 8 both sides to remove the fractions

$-5x>14y$

Multiply by -1 both sides

Remember that

When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

$5x$

Divide by 5 both sides

$x < -\frac{14}{5}y$
