Given: The inequality below


-7x+3<-53

To Determine: the solution of the given inequality

Solution

Collect like terms


\begin{gathered} -7x+3<-53 \\ -7x<-53-3 \\ -7x<-56 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by -7

Please note for any time you divide two sides of an inequality by a negative sign, the inequality sign is reversed

So


\begin{gathered} (-7x)/(-7)<(-56)/(-7) \\ x>8 \end{gathered}

Hence, the solution of the given inequality is x > 8, OPTION C
