Can I just post my answer so someone can check me.

Yes, but it would be better if you posted your work. That way, if you have the wrong answer we will know what you did wrong. If you have the right answer we will also check that you came about the correct answer properly.

To solve the inequality -0.8x < -56, we need to isolate the variable x.

Step 1: Divide both sides of the inequality by -0.8 to get rid of the coefficient in front of x. But since we are dividing by a negative number, the inequality symbol must be flipped.

(-0.8x)/-0.8 > (-56)/-0.8

Simplifying, we get:

x > 70

Therefore, the solution to the inequality -0.8x < -56 is x > 70.
