Solve 5x9<8 . Write the improper fraction in your answer as a mixed number. Make sure to write your inequality so that x comes first.
Note: You will find the option to add a >
, <
, ≥
, or ≤
symbol in the Comparison (<)
keyboard.
The inequality is written as: 9x < 8.
To solve the inequality, divide both sides of the inequality by 9:
(9x)/9 < 8/9
x < 8/9
Now, let's write 8/9 as a mixed number:
8 ÷ 9 = 0 remainder 8
So 8/9 can be written as 0 8/9.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is:
x < 0 8/9.
