Which of the following is a solution to the inequality below? {:[-16 < (x)/(5)],[x=-140]:} x=-85 x=-35 x=-130

Substitute x = -85: Step 1: Substitute x = -85 into the inequality -16 < (x)/(5). Calculate: -16 < (-85)/(5) -16 < -17Check x = -85: Step 2: Since -16 is not less than -17, x = -85 is not a solution.Substitute x = -35: Step 3: Substitute x = -35 into the inequality -16 < (x)/(5). Calculate: -16 < (-35)/(5) -16 < -7Check x = -35: Step 4: Since -16 is less than -7, x = -35 is a solution.Substitute x = -130: Step 5: Substitute x = -130 into the inequality -16 < (x)/(5). Calculate: -16 < (-130)/(5) -16 < -26Check x = -130: Step 6: Since -16 is not less than -26, x = -130 is not a solution.

Q. Which of the following is a solution to the inequality below?

\newline

\begin{array}{r} -16<\frac{x}{5} \end{array}

\newline

x=-140

\newline

x=-85

\newline

x=-35

\newline

x=-130

Substitute $x = -85$ : Step $1$ : Substitute $x = -85$ into the inequality -16 < \frac{x}{5}. $\newline$ Calculate: -16 < \frac{-85}{5} $\newline$ -16 < -17
Check $x = -85$ : Step $2$ : Since $-16$ is not less than $-17$ , $x = -85$ is not a solution.
Substitute $x = -35$ : Step $3$ : Substitute $x = -35$ into the inequality -16 < \frac{x}{5}. $\newline$ Calculate: -16 < \frac{-35}{5} $\newline$ -16 < -7
Check $x = -35$ : Step $4$ : Since $-16$ is less than $-7$ , $x = -35$ is a solution.
Substitute $x = -130$ : Step $5$ : Substitute $x = -130$ into the inequality -16 < \frac{x}{5}. $\newline$ Calculate: -16 < \frac{-130}{5} $\newline$ -16 < -26
Check $x = -130$ : Step $6$ : Since $-16$ is not less than $-26$ , $x = -130$ is not a solution.
