Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x < -2
Discussion:
7 < 3 - 2x => Add 2x to both sides
7 + 2x < 3 - (2x - 2x) => As 2x -2x = 0
7 + 2x < 3 => Subtract 7 from both sides
(7-7) + 2x < 3 - 7 => As 7-7 = 0 and 3-7 = -4
2x < -4 => Divide both sides by 2
x < -4./2 = -2
Thank you,

Given : Brandon buys a radio for $45.99 .sales tax rate is 7%.sales tax is a consumption tax imposed by the government on the sale of goods and services.
Let the price of Radio before the sales tax be $x. Sales tax on $x is 7% x.
Price before sales tax + Amount of sales tax= Cost of Radio.
x+7%x =45.99
Or x+0.07x=45.99
1.07x=45.99
Dividing both sides by 1.07.
x= 41.11
Cost of Radio before tax = $41.11
Sales tax paid = 43.99-41.11= 2.88
Tax paid = $2.90 (To nearest cent)
