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 2

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
