Question 639034


{{{8-7x>9}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{-7x>9-8}}} Subtract {{{8}}} from both sides.



{{{-7x>1}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x<(1)/(-7)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-7}}} to isolate {{{x}}}. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number. 



{{{x<-1/7}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x<-1/7}}} 



Which approximates to {{{x<-0.143}}}
