Answer:
x > -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Inequalities like these are solved the same way equations are solved, except when multiplying both sides you flip the less than/greater than sign:
3x + 7 > -x -9
3x + 7 - 7 > -x -9 -7 Subtract 7 from both sides
3x > -x -16
3x + x > -x -16 + x add x to both sides
4x > -16
>
divide both sides by 4
x > -4
In this case the inequality sign did not have to be flipped since we never multiply both sides by a negative number.
