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>.

We have the following general rule for exponents:

$a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}$

then, in this case we have the following:

$3^3\cdot3^{-2}=3^{3+(-2)}=3^{3-2}=3^1=3$

therefore, the answer is 3
