Answer 2

Answer:

$x>-9$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3x-7<20$

Solve the inequality for x

To get rid of -7, add 7 on both sides

$-3x-7<20$

$-3x<27$

now we divide both sides by -3. Whenever we divide by any negative number we flip the inequality sign

$x>-9$

We use number line

x is greater than -9. So we shade the number line to the right of -9

Use open circle at -9 and shade to the right.
