So far so good

Now divide both sides by -7 (this will flip the inequality sign) to get

-7y+%3E+14+-+5x

y+%3C+%2814+-+5x%29%2F%28-7%29

y+%3C+%28-5x+%2B+14%29%2F%28-7%29

y+%3C+%28-5x%29%2F%28-7%29+%2B+%2814%29%2F%28-7%29

y+%3C+expr%285%2F7%29x+-2

Multiply both sides by . Since you are multiplying by a quantity less than zero, you must reverse the sense of the inequality (greater than has to change to less than)
