5x-7%28x%2B1%29%3E-9 Start with the given inequality.


5x-7x-7%3E-9 Distribute.


-2x-7%3E-9 Combine like terms on the left side.


-2x%3E-9%2B7 Add 7 to both sides.


-2x%3E-2 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%28-2%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C1 Reduce.
