To solve, you want to get x all by itself on one side of the inequality sign. To do this, first subtract 7 from both sides of the inequality:

7 - 7 - x > 6 - 7 ----->

-x > -1

Now, you need to get rid of the negative sign in front of the x. To do this, you need to divide both sides of the equation by -1. Remember, when you divide a negative number from each side of an inequality, you have to flip the inequality in the other direction:

----->

x < 1
