To solve the multi-step inequality -5x - (2x + 3) > 1, we need to simplify the terms and isolate the variable x.
First, let's simplify the equation by distributing the negative sign to the terms inside the parentheses:
-5x - 2x - 3 > 1
Now, combine like terms:
-7x - 3 > 1
To isolate the variable x, we can start by adding 3 to both sides of the inequality:
-7x - 3 + 3 > 1 + 3
-7x > 4
Next, divide both sides of the inequality by -7. However, since we are dividing by a negative number, we need to reverse the inequality symbol:
(-7x)/(-7) < 4/(-7)
Simplifying further, we get:
x < -4/7
Therefore, the solution to the given inequality is x is less than -4/7.
