To determine

To find: The solution to the inequality $-3x-2<7$.

Answer to Problem 1AYU

Solution:

$x>-3$

Explanation of Solution

The inequality is:

$-3x-2<7$

$-3x-2-7<0$

$-3x-9<0$

$-3\left(x+3\right)<0$

$\left(x+3\right)>0$

$x>-3$

Therefore the solution to the given inequality is $x>-3$.
