We have two cases to consider
:
1) (x - 7) > 0, then
x > 7
:
2) (x - 7) < 0
x < -1(x - 7)
x < -x + 7
2x < 7
x < 7/2 = 3.5

***********************************
There are two intervals
:
(-infinity, 3.5) and (7, +infinity)

Solve the following inequality. Enter the answer in interval notation.
x/(x−7)>−1
x%2F%28x+-+7%29+%3E+-+1, with x+%3C%3E+7%29
Solve this inequality to get: x+%3C+7%2F2
Now, we have 2 CRITICAL points matrix%281%2C3%2C+7%2C+and%2C+7%2F2%29, and the following 3 intervals: matrix%283%2C1%2C+x+%3C+7%2F2%2C+7%2F2+%3C+x+%3C+7%2C+x+%3E+7%29
After testing the above intervals, we get the following CORRECT INTERVAL NOTATION:
