Question

Solve: $-12x>30$ when $x$ is an integer

Answer 1

We have, $-12x>30$

on multiplying both sides by $(-1),$ we get

$\Rightarrow 12x<-30$ [$\because$ when we multiply negative number both sides, equality sign will change ]

$\Rightarrow x<\frac{-30}{12}$

$\therefore x<\frac{-5}{2}$

Hence, the given inequality will satisfy for all values of $x$ less than $\frac{-5}{2}$.
