Step 1
Divide each side of the inequality by - 5 to solve for z. However, because we are multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative term we must reverse the inequality operator:
40 - 5 - 5 z - 5
- 8 - 5 z - 5
- 8 z
To state the solution in terms of z we can reverse or "flip" the entire inequality:
z - 8
