Algebra.Com's Answer #171756 by rapaljer(4671)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 7-3x>4-2x\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Get all the variable terms to the left side. Add +2x to each side: \n" ); document.write( "7-3x+2x>4-2x+2x \n" ); document.write( "7-x>4\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Get all the number terms to the right side. Subtract 7 from each side.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7-7-x>4-7\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-x >-3\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is the ALL IMPORTANT step! You must divide both sides by -1, which is a NEGATIVE number. When you divide both sides by a negative number, you must REVERSE the inequality!\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For additional help with this topic of SOLVING INEQUALITIES, please visit my own website.
