-x+4-9x+3_>7(x-2)
-10x+7=>7x-14 [combine like-terms; use the distributive property to multiply]
-10x+7-7=>7x-14-7 [isolate the x-term by subtracting (7) from both sides]
-10x=>7x-21
-10x-7x=>7x-7x-21
-17x=>=-21
%28-17x%2F-17%29<=%28-21%2F-17%29
[flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number]
.
x<=%2821%2F17%29%29
