In finding the solution for the inequality given, our goal is to solve for t by using the addition/subtraction and multiplication/division properties of inequality.

We start with the inequality given


-3t+11>20

and then subtract 11 from both sides of the equation to get


-3t>9

Now at this point, we have to remember that whenever we are dividing/multiplying equality by a negative number, the sign of the inequity reverses sign. In our case, dividing both sides by -3 turns ' < ' into ' > ' and gives us


t\text{ < -3}
