-134<8x-5+35x
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by 1-7x.
-134<43x-5
Combine 8x and 35x to get 43x.
43x-5>-134
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.
43x>-134+5
Add 5 to both sides.
43x>-129
Add -134 and 5 to get -129.
x>\frac{-129}{43}
Divide both sides by 43. Since 43 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x>-3
Divide -129 by 43 to get -3.
