Question

How do you solve `-7f>5`?

Answer 1

See entire solution process below:

Explanation:

To solve this inequality we need to divide each side of the inequality by `color(blue)(-7)` to solve for `f` while keeping the equation balanced.

However, whenever you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative term you must reverse the inequality:

`-7f > 5 ->`

`(-7f)/color(blue)(-7) color(red)(<) 5/color(blue)(-7)`

`(color(blue)(cancel(color(black)(-7)))f)/cancel(color(blue)(-7)) color(red)(<) -5/7`

`f < -5/7`
