Hi, 

Solving the Inequality for x

x-7>-4

  x > 3   ||Adding 7 to both sides of the Inequality Sign



Note: solving an Inequality for x is much like solving when there is an =sign...

EXCEPT when multiplying or dividing by a minus number, that reverses the direction of the Inequality sign

Ex:  -2x < 4    ||Dividing both sides of the Inequality Sign by -2

      x > -2
