SOLUTION: I need to solve for -7x > 1/15 by multiplying I tried by adding 7x to both sides like -7x + 7x = -x than I took 1/15 * 15/1 = 15 +7 = 22 so x = 22?

Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You don't seem to know how to add nor multiply.
-7x>1/15
add 7x to both sides
0>1/15+7x
but that will get us nowhere
how did you go from > to =?
and why didn't you multiply the 7 by 15/1 ?
So anyways to solve the inequality
multiply by -1/7 and change signs
-7*-1/7<1/15*-1/7
x<-1/105
