Answer:

x>-28

Explanation:

First to cancel out the fraction times the whole fraction by the denominator 4 AND the 7 then multiply 7*4=28

This leaves you with

-x<28

To get rid of the -x divide both sides of the inequality by -x, This also changes the sign of the inequality to > Because you are Dividing both sides of the inequality

Negative/Negative =positive

Positive/Negative =Negative

So, You get
x>-28

Answer:


x>-28

Explanation:

Given the following question:


-x/4<7

In order to find the answer, we have to isolate the variable by multiplying four on both sides.


(-x)/(4) <7

(-x)/(4) =x*4

7*4=28

-x>28

-x*-1=x

28*-1=-28

x>-28

Hope this helps.
