Let's solve this inequality!

`\rm{-x+20>-7+35`

What can we do to solve this inequality? Well, first of all, we can add -7 and 35:

`\rm{-x+20>28`

Now, move 20 to the right, using the opposite operation:

`\rm{-x>28-20`

Subtract:

`\rm{-x>8`

Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x:

`\rm{x<-8}` (Answer)

_____________

Additional comment

When we divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we flip the inequality sign.
