anonymous · Answer

Have you tried graphing it?

anonymous · Answer

dont know

anonymous · Answer

All you need to do is isolate the x:

-2x+3>7
-2x>4
x<-2

I forget what the "solution" of an inequality is, but that should help!

anonymous · Answer

i believe it has to be  a solution like: (x,y) ...

smokeydabear KNOWS HER STUFF!!! I LIKE HER MATH

anonymous · Answer

Haha but he might be right. Although I'm not sure where the "y" would come into this problem...

anonymous · Answer

BUT YOU WAS RIGHT.

anonymous · Answer

yeah i think (x,y) would be for a system of inequalities... 
but this is just a single inequality...

so @smokeydabear i believe your right :)

$$-2x + 3 > 7$$
$$x<-2$$
