Do you know what to do first
no because the x's are already on one side
7x-14<-5 then 7x<-5+14 7x<9 and x<9/7
1. Simplify both sides:\[7x−14<−5\]
2. Add 14 to both sides:\[7x−14+14<−5+14 = 7x<9\]

3. Divide both sides by 7:\[\frac{ 7x }{ 7} < \frac{ 9 }{ 7 }\]
Which give you an answer of:\[x < \frac{ 9 }{ 7 }\]
thank you so much
