The yearly Egyptian production of oil O(t) in millions of barrels, t years after 2000 can be approximated by,

O(t)=-40.5t +2159
Using inequality, determine the years for which the production will drop below 1750 million barrels.

This is what I have and know I have set it up wrong.

o(t)=-40.5t + 2159

O(t)>1750

-40.5t>1750-2159

-40.5t> -409/-40.5

I do not feel good about completing this...think I have it wrong
