Answer:

The answer to the equation -7x + 2 > -2x - 13 is
x < 3.

Explanation:

How can we solve this problem?


-7x+2 > -2x-13


-7x+2-2 > -2x-13-2


-7x > -2x-15


-7x+2x > -2x+2x-15


-5x > -15

Multiply by -1 to reverse the inequality.


-5x(-1) < -15(-1)


5x < 15


(5x)/(5) < (15)/(5)


x < 3
