Solve 2x-20<-1.4

$$2 x - 20 < - 1.4$$

Solve for x

$$x<\frac{93}{10}$$

Solution Steps

Add 20 to both sides.

$$2x<-1.4+20$$

Add -1.4 and 20 to get 18.6.

$$2x<18.6$$

Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

$$x<\frac{18.6}{2}$$

Expand \frac{18.6}{2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x<\frac{186}{20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{186}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x<\frac{93}{10}$$
