Explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations,

in this inequality, start by isolating the x term which in this

case is -3x by subtracting 5 from both sides.

That leaves you with -3x < -24.

To get x by itself, divide both sides by -3 but watch out.

When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a

negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.

So we have x < 8 and put your final answer in

set notation and it look like this → {x: x < 8}.

What are 26 divide by 4,340

mart [117]

$\frac { 26 }{ 4,340 } \\ \\ =\frac { 26 }{ 4\cdot { 10 }^{ 3 }+3\cdot { 10 }^{ 2 }+4\cdot { 10 }^{ 1 } } \\ \\ =\frac { 26 }{ 10\left( 4\cdot { 10 }^{ 2 }+3\cdot { 10 }^{ 1 }+4 \right) } \\ \\ =\frac { 2\cdot 13 }{ 2\cdot 5\left( 4\cdot { 10 }^{ 2 }+3\cdot { 10 }^{ 1 }+4 \right) } \\ \\ =\frac { 13 }{ 5\left( 4\cdot { 10 }^{ 2 }+3\cdot { 10 }^{ 1 }+4 \right) }$

$\\ \\ =\frac { 13 }{ 5\left( 400+30+4 \right) } \\ \\ =\frac { 13 }{ 2,000+150+20 } \\ \\ =\frac { 13 }{ 2,170 }$
