solve the inequality -7x>49. Write the solution set in interval notation
To solve the inequality -7x > 49, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by -7. However, since we are dividing by a negative number, we need to flip the inequality sign.
Dividing both sides by -7:
x < 49/-7
x < -7
Therefore, the solution set is all real numbers less than -7.
In interval notation, this is written as (-∞, -7).
