u2:04: unit 2 test
solve the inequality:
$4x > -20$
$\circ\\ x > -16$
$\circ\\ x > -5$
$\circ\\ x < -5$
$\circ\\ x<16$

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 4

To solve the inequality \(4x > -20\), we divide both sides of the inequality by 4. Since 4 is a positive number, the direction of the inequality sign remains the same. So we have \(\frac{4x}{4} > \frac{-20}{4}\).

Step2: Simplify the expressions

Simplifying both sides, we get \(x > -5\).

Answer:

B. \(x > -5\)
