Answer:

It's the first choice.

First, multiply each term in the equation by 7/4. We multiply by 7/4 since if you multiply a reciprocal by its number it becomes 1. Then, the equation will be like this.

1x > -70/4

We can simplify 70/4 to 35/2

1x > -35/2

But, the multiplication property of inequality states that when you multiply and divide a negative number on both sides, you reverse the inequality.

So, it becomes

1x < -35/2

The answer is: {x : x < -35/2}
