Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We must simplify and rearrange the variables to divide x in order to determine the comparable inequality to the supplied inequality, -4(x + 7) 3(x - 2).

Below are the steps to solve the problem:

-4(x + 7) < 3(x - 2)

Expanding the equation:

-4x-28<3x-6

Gather the variable term on one side and constants on the other:

Adding -4x and 28 on both sides:

-4x + 4x - 28 + 28 < 3x + 4x - 6 + 28

=>0 < 7x + 22

To make the coefficient of x positive, we divide the entire inequality by 7:

0/7 < (7x + 22)/7

=> 0 < x + 22/7
