Question

Solve this inequality.

-3x - 2 > 7


need some help someone tryed to explain to me but didn't get their explaination

Answer 1

-3x - 2 > 7


-3x - 2 + 2 > 7 + 2 ... Add 2 to both sides


-3x > 9 ... Combine like terms


-3x/(-3) < 9/(-3) ... Divide both sides by -3 (the inequality sign will flip)


x < -3 ... Divide



So the solution is x < -3
