what is the solution to the inequality below x/-14<-2

Question

solve the inequality below

 

Answer 1

x/-14 < -2

x > -2/-14

x > 1/7

 

Let's check. Zero is less than 0.

 

0/-14 <-2

0 < -2

 

Well, that's not true, so let's use something greater than 1/7.

 

1/-14 > -2

 

Yep, that's true, so our answer works.
