Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term on one side of the inequality.2−7g<9Subtract 2 from both sides to move the constant term to the right side.2−7g−2<9−2−7g<7
Subtract constant term: Solve for g by dividing both sides of the inequality by −7. Since we are dividing by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality sign. −7g/−7>7/−7g>−1
Solve for g: Check the solution for any mathematical errors.We subtracted 2 from both sides correctly and divided by −7 correctly, also remembering to reverse the inequality sign.
