Math queztion -8x + 40> -16 =

x < 7

Step-by-step explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations, in this inequality, start by isolating the x term which in this case is -8x by subtracting 40 from both sides.

That leaves you with -8x > -56.

To get x by itself, divide both sides by -8 but watch out.

If you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative,

you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.

So we have x < 7.
