−4x − 32 + 25 ≤ −2 + 1x − 50
−4x − 7 ≤ 1x − 52
−5x ≤ −45
x ≤9
What mistake did Andrew make in solving the inequality?
For this case we observe that we have the following inequality:
-4 (x + 8) + 25 ≤ -2 + 1 (x - 50)
The first step is the distributive property on both sides of the inequality:
-4x - 32 + 25 ≤ -2 + 1x - 50
This step is written correctly.
The second step is to add similar terms:
-4x - 7 ≤ 1x - 52
This step is written correctly.
The third step is to pass the number 7 adding on the right side of the inequality:
-5x ≤ -45
This step is written correctly.
The last step is to divide between 5 both sides of the inequality. Then, multiply by -1. When multiplied by -1, the direction of the inequality changes:
x ≤9
This step is written incorrectly.
Answer:
Andrew did not change the symbol of the inequality in the last step.

to be honest if you look up any fraction and write in decimal form on google it comes up and tells you what the fraction is in decimal form.
