Answer: x is less than or equal to 4

Distribute -5
5+-35x+5>-130

Combine like terms
10+-35x>-130

Subtract 10 from both sides
-35x>-140

Divide by -35 on each side
(Flip the sign since you divide by a negative)

-35x/35 > -140/35

Answer:

x<_ 4

Explanation:

first you distribute 5 to equal 5-35x+5 then you would carry the non variables to one side to be -35x>_-140 and the you would flip the sides because te variable is negative so it would be -35x<_ -140 the divid to get x<_4
