You should really workout your basics before posting here. We are here to guide you and not give you answers. Note that.

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(3x + 9 < 4x + 7\) Subtract 9 to both sides: \(3x < 4x - 2\) Subtract 4x to both sides: \(-x < - 2\) Divide all terms by -1.. -2 / -1 = ? @pigglet

2?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes. That gives us: \(x > 2\) Remember to switch the sign when dividing by a negative number!
