Question

How do you solve `-2x<7`?

Answer 1

`x` > `-7/2`

Explanation:

We want to get `x` alone in this inequality. To do this, we divide each side by -2 (but remember, when you divide or multiply by a negative number in an inequality, you switch the sign)

`-2x` < `7` (divide each side by -2)

Divide each side by `-2` and switch the inequality sign:

`x` > `-7/2`
