7-3x%3E=x-5 Start with the given inequality



-3x%3E=x-5-7Subtract 7 from both sides


-3x-x%3E=-5-7 Subtract x from both sides


-4x%3E=-5-7 Combine like terms on the left side


-4x%3E=-12 Combine like terms on the right side


x%3C=%28-12%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



x%3C=3 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x%3C=3
