Answer: x=6 or x= -10

Explanation:

-25 < -3x -7

step 1 ( flip the equation): −3x−7>−25

step 2 ( Add 7 to both sides) : −3x−7+7>−25+7

−3x>−18

step 3 ( Divide -3 from both sides) : −3x/-3 > -18/-3

x=6

Step 1 (Add 7 to both sides):

3x−7+7<−37+7

3x<−30

Step 2 ( Divide 3 from both sides: 3x/3 < -30/3

x< -10
