1) Solve:
Simplfy the left side by applying the distributive property.
Subtract 3 from both sides.
Finally, divide both sides by 3.

2)
Apply the distributive property to the right side.
Collect like-terms.
Subtract 3x from both sides.
Add 2 to both sides.
Divide both sides by -10...remember to reverse the order of the inequality.

3)
The coordinates would be: (-2, 9)
