Answer:

x < - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

15 < - 5x

Divide both sides by - 5, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity

- 3 > x , that is

x < - 3

The simplified expression is x < -3.

What is an inequality?

An inequality is a relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions. It is the condition of being unequal. It is used most often to compare two numbers on the number line by their size.

For the given situation,

The expression is 15 < -5x

⇒ [tex]15 < -5 x[/tex]

Divide both sides by -5,

⇒ [tex]\frac{15}{-5} < \frac{-5}{-5} x[/tex]

When we divide an inequality with negative number, we need to change the sign,

⇒ [tex]-3 > x[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x < -3[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the simplified expression is x < -3.
