−x−86<7

Answer 1

x > -93

Explanation:

-x - 86 < 7

=> Add 86 on both sides of "="

-x < 93

Since -x could also be written as -1x, divide both sides of "=" with -1 so x becomes positive, since we are dividing by a negative number the inequality sign switches:

x > -93

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x<-94

Explanation:

-x-87<7

Add 87 to both sides, thus canceling it out.

-x-87<7

+87 +87

-x<94

The x can't have a negative. So we divide -1 from it.

-1x<94

/-1 /-1

x<-94
