Solve the Inequality for x -1/5x>-10

$- \frac{1}{5} x > - 10$

Multiply each term in $- \frac{1}{5} x > - 10$ by $- 5$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$- \frac{1}{5} x \cdot - 5 < - 10 \cdot - 5$

Simplify the left side.

Combine $x$ and $\frac{1}{5}$ .

$- \frac{x}{5} \cdot - 5 < - 10 \cdot - 5$

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Move the leading negative in $- \frac{x}{5}$ into the numerator.

$\frac{- x}{5} \cdot - 5 < - 10 \cdot - 5$

Factor $5$ out of $- 5$ .

$\frac{- x}{5} \cdot (5 (- 1)) < - 10 \cdot - 5$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- x}{5} \cdot (5 \cdot - 1) < - 10 \cdot - 5$

Rewrite the expression.

$- x \cdot - 1 < - 10 \cdot - 5$

Multiply.

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 1$ .

$1 x < - 10 \cdot - 5$

Multiply $x$ by $1$ .

$x < - 10 \cdot - 5$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $- 10$ by $- 5$ .

$x < 50$

The result can be shown in multiple forms.
