Given the inequality:
7x<−3To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
7x=−3Solve:
Given the linear equation:
7*x = -3
Divide both parts of the equation by 7
x = -3 / (7)
x1=−73x1=−73This roots
x1=−73is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
x0<x1For example, let's take the point
x0=x1−101=
−73+−101=
−7037substitute to the expression
7x<−370(−37)7<−3-37
---- < -3
10
the solution of our inequality is:
x<−73 _____
