Question 639816
To solve, we need to get x by itself. to do this, we will perform the following steps:

1. Subtract both sides of the equation by 7:

{{{(-2/3)x + 7 - 7 < 19 - 7}}} =
{{{(-2/3)x < 12}}}

2.  Multiply both sides by 3:

{{{3(-2/3)x < 12 x 3}}} =
{{{-2x < 36}}}

3.  Divide both sides by -2 to isolate the x.  Remember, when multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number, reverse the inequality symbol:

{{{-2x/-2 > 36/-2}}} =
{{{x > -18}}}

FINAL ANSWER: x > -18
