Question

solve the following inequality:
-0.5x < 8
complete the solution statement by dragging the appropriate symbol to the first box and the correct value to the second box.
$x$ blank
symbol
< ≤ > ≥
-40 -16 -4
4 16

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate $x$ by dividing both sides by $-0.5$

When dividing an inequality by a negative number, reverse the inequality sign.
$\frac{-0.5x}{-0.5} > \frac{8}{-0.5}$

Step2: Calculate the values

$x > -16$

Answer:

$x > -16$
