solve
-5 - 7x > -9x + 5
Solution
The inequality you provided is:
Let's solve this step by step.
Step 1: Move all terms involving to one side.
We can add to both sides to start isolating :
Simplify:
Step 2: Move the constant terms to the other side.
Now, add 5 to both sides to move the constant to the right-hand side:
Step 3: Solve for .
Divide both sides by 2:
Final Answer:
The solution to the inequality is:
