-6%28x-4%29%3E=7%282x-3%29 Start with the given inequality



-6x%2B24%3E=14x-21 Distribute


-6x%3E=14x-21-24Subtract 24 from both sides


-6x-14x%3E=-21-24 Subtract 14x from both sides


-20x%3E=-21-24 Combine like terms on the left side


-20x%3E=-45 Combine like terms on the right side


x%3C=%28-45%29%2F%28-20%29 Divide both sides by -20 to isolate x (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



x%3C=9%2F4 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x%3C=9%2F4 (which is approximately x%3C=2.25 in decimal form)
