Answer 2

`x>-9`

Explanation:

`-3x-7<20`

Solve the inequality for x

To get rid of -7, add 7 on both sides

`-3x-7<20`

`-3x<27`

now we divide both sides by -3. Whenever we divide by any negative number we flip the inequality sign

`x>-9`

We use number line

x is greater than -9. So we shade the number line to the right of -9

Use open circle at -9 and shade to the right.
