Answer:

q < 7

Explanation:

Given:


(-q)/(7) > -1

Required:

Find the value of q.

First, multiply both sides by 7


7 * (-q)/(7) > -1 * 7

-q > -7

Then, multiply both sides by -1

q < 7

Note that the sign of the inequality changed.

When multiplying or dividing an inequality by a number less than 0 (in other words, a negative numbers), the sign of the inequality will change.

Hence, the solution to the expression above is

q < 7
