You can put this solution on YOUR website! The dash under the < means "equal" so the equations say "
(-2x+7) less than or equal to (-1). I'll use <= becuase I can type it
now here is the tricky part. If you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, the less than becomes a greater than and vice-vera
Now check your answer.
set x = 4 and solve which it true
now set x to a number > 4, let's use 5 which is true
