Answer:

The solution to the inequality is;


x>3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality;


-22>-5x-7

To solve, let us add 7 to both sides of the inequality.


\begin{gathered} -22+7>-5x-7+7 \\ -15>-5x \end{gathered}

Then we can divide both sides by -5;


\begin{gathered} (-15)/(-5)<(-5x)/(-5) \\ 33 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is;


x>3
