x+1 > -5(7-2x) Use distributive property(Multiply -5 by 7 and -2x). x+1 > -35 + 10x Subtract x on both sides so that the variable x is only on one side. 1 > -35 + 9x Add 35 to both sides so that it cancels out negative 35. 36 > 9x Divide 9 on both sides so that the only thing remaining on the right side is the variable x. Final Answer: 4 > x
