Answer:

0, -1

Explanation:

1. Plug in for 5:

-(15 + 1) > -7 + 15

-16 > 8 (FALSE)

2. Plug in for 1

-(3 + 1) > -7 + 3

-4 > -4 (FALSE, they are equal)

3. Plug in for 0

-(0 + 1) > -7 + 3(0)

-1 > -7 (TRUE)

4. Plug in for -1

-(-3 + 1) > -7 - 3

-(-2) > -10

2 > -10 (TRUE)

5. Plug in for 20

-(60 + 1) > -7 + 60

-66 > 53 (FALSE)

6. Plug in for -32

-(96 + 1) > -7 + 96

-97 > 89 (FALSE)

You can find the answer by just plugging in for x. It's very easy and the rest is just addition and multiplication, so please put some effort. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

x<1

Explanation:

Treat it like a normal equation

Distribute: -3x-1>-7+3x

Isolate x: -6x>-7+1

Because we are dividing by a negative number, we need to flip the sign

x<1
