Hello there!
14 - 3x < -1
Let start by subtracting 14 from both sides
14 - 14 - 3x < -1 - 14
-3x < -15
Then divide both sides by -3
-3x/-3 < -15/-3
x > 5
Why did I change the sign from this < to that >
Well, when we divide by a negative number, we MUST change the sign as well.
I hope the steps are easy to understand :)
As always, I am glad to be your helper today!
