ANSWER

True

Step-by-step explanation

To solve the inequality given:

-7x < 24

we have to divide both sides of the inequality by -7.

Dividing both sides of an inequality causes the sign to change direction (or be reversed) and so we will have:

x > -24 / 7

Therefore, it is true that the sign will be reversed.
