Answer:

x < -3

Explanation:

Hello!

Treat the inequality symbol as an equal sign, so as a normal equation.

Remember that when you divide or multiply by a negative number, flip the inequality sign to the opposite side.

Solve for x

  • -7x - 10 > 11
  • -7x > 11 + 10
  • -7x > 21
  • x < -3 -> Flip the sign!

The inequality for x is x < -3.
