Question

n

anonymous · Answer

-x+3>7
-x>4
x<-4
I'm assuming u got stuck on the last step, so just remember when u divide or multiply an inequality by a negative, u have to switch the direction of the sign.

anonymous · Answer

Can you please explain how you got to each step? Thank you! :)

anonymous · Answer

add $x$ to both sides, get 
$$3>7+x$$ then subtract 7 from both sides and get 
$$-4>x$$

anonymous · Answer

Is that all you have to do? That seems too easy! Thank you so much @satellite73

anonymous · Answer

yes, that is all you have to do
two steps exactly

Omg! Thank you so much! You have no idea how much you helped me! :)

anonymous · Answer

you are welcome again

anonymous · Answer

the only thing you have to be careful of is if you multiply or divide by a negative number, but you can always avoid that (as i did above) by making sure the coefficient of the variable is positive
that is why i added $x$ as the first step

anonymous · Answer

Oh ok! Thanks for letting me know that! :)

texaschic101 · Answer

treat an inequality like an equation....keeping in mind, thereare a few inequality rules to learn.

anonymous · Answer

you could have started by subtracting 3 from both sides and getting 
$$-x>4$$ but then you have do change the sign to get $x$ so you have to change the inequality as well and get $x<-4$

anonymous · Answer

but at the risk of repeating myself, you can avoid that by adding to make sure the coefficient of the $x$ term is positive

anonymous · Answer

Thanks again! :)
