38%3C4x%2B3%2B7-3x Start with the given inequality.


38%3Cx%2B10 Combine like terms on the right side.


0%3Cx%2B10-38 Subtract 38 from both sides.


-x%3C10-38 Subtract x from both sides.


-x%3C-28 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%28-28%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E28 Reduce.
