-7/8t < -14

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-7/8t < -14 [Isolate the t]
(-8/7)(-7/8t)>(-8/7)(-14) [Flip the sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number]
.
t>16
.
Check if this is a true statement by plugging numbers greater than 16 and numbers less than 16 back into the original equation.
