whats the answer
To solve the inequality 5x9<8, we need to isolate x. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to get x alone.
9x < 8/5

Divide the numerator (8) by the denominator (5):
8 ÷ 5 = 1 remainder 3
So, the improper fraction 8/5 can be written as the mixed number 1 3/5.
