Answer

$[-\frac{1}{10},\infty)$

Work Step by Step

$-4x\leq\frac{2}{5}$ Solve for x. Mutiply each side by $-\frac{1}{4}$. Multiplying by a negative requires you to reverse the inequality sign. $-4x\times-\frac{1}{4}\geq \frac{2}{5}\times-\frac{1}{4}$ $x\geq -\frac{2}{20}$ Reduce the fraction by the greatest common factor of 2. $x\geq -\frac{1}{10}$ This is written in interval notation as $[-\frac{1}{10},\infty)$ where [ indicates that the solution set for x includes $-\frac{1}{10}$.
