Question

Solve the inequality:-3x-4/7 >5

Answer 1

x < -  $\frac{13}{7}$

add $\frac{4}{7}$ to both sides

- 3x > $\frac{4}{7}$ + $\frac{35}{7}$

- 3x > $\frac{39}{7}$ ( divide both sides by - 3 )

note that when we divide/ multiply by a negative quantity we must reverse the inequality symbol

x < - $\frac{13}{7}$
