-8-11%283x%2B7%29%3C=-40x-9 Start with the given inequality.


-8-33x-77%3C=-40x-9 Distribute.


-33x-85%3C=-40x-9 Combine like terms on the left side.


-33x%3C=-40x-9%2B85 Add 85 to both sides.


-33x%2B40x%3C=-9%2B85 Add 40x to both sides.


7x%3C=-9%2B85 Combine like terms on the left side.


7x%3C=76 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C=%2876%29%2F%287%29 Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x.
