Answer:

x<9

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x-1) > -40 ---> divide each side by -5(you flip the inequality because of dividing by negative)

(x-1)<8 ---> add 1 to each side

x<9

Answer:

x < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x - 1) > -40

Multiply both sides by -1

(-5(x - 1)) (-1) < (-40) (-1)

Simplify

5(x - 1) < 40

Divide both sides by 5

[tex]\frac{5(x-1)}{5} < \frac{40}{5}[/tex]

Simplify

x < 9
