Let's first move our numbers to the right
by subtracting 2 from both sides.
On the left, the +2 -2 cancels and we have -5x
and on the right, 37 - 2 simplifies to 35.
So we have -5x > 35.
Now divided both sides by -5.
However, when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.
So dividing both sides by -5, we have <em>x < -7</em>.
