Iam probably just really dumb, but i don't understand the concept. the question is: -42v+33< 8v+91. i am supposed to solve the inequality for v. give an explanation and not just an answer, i would really like to know how to do this.

-42v +33 <8v +91

Move all terms with V to the left side by subtracting 8V from both sides.

-50v +33 < 91

Now get the term with V all by itself by subtracting 33 from each side:

-50v<58

Solve for V by dividing both sides by -50  ( when dividing an inequality by a negative number you also need to reverse the direction of the inequality sign).

v >58/-50

Reduce the fraction and relocate the negative sign:

V >-29/25
