Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below. 5x < 0 answer attempt 1 out of 2 < > ≤ ≥ or inequality notation: number line:

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable x

Divide both sides of the inequality $5x < 0$ by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality - sign remains the same. So, $\frac{5x}{5}<\frac{0}{5}$.

Step2: Simplify the inequality

We get $x < 0$.

Answer:

Inequality Notation: $x < 0$
Number Line: Draw an open - circle at 0 (because x is less than, not less than or equal to 0) and shade the line to the left of 0.
