Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this inequality, we want to isolate the variable x on one side of the inequality sign.

First, we can simplify the right side of the inequality by subtracting 7 from both sides:

31 < 7 - 3x

31 - 7 < -3x

24 < -3x

Next, we can divide both sides by -3. Note that when we divide an inequality by a negative number, we need to reverse the direction of the inequality sign:

24 < -3x

24/-3 > x

-8 > x

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is:

x < -8

So any value of x that is less than -8 would make the inequality true.
