The first step in simplifying the inequality is to divide both sides by -14:


(1)/(-14)*-14x>-3*(1)/(-14)

Since we are dividing both sides by a negative number, the inequality reverses direction, and hence it becomes


\textcolor{#FF7968}{x<(3)/(14)}\text{\textcolor{#FF7968}{.}}

This is the farthest we can go in simplifying the inequality; therefore, the above inequality is our answer
