-5x+39<-14x-42
Use the distributive property to multiply -14 by x+3.
-5x+39+14x<-42
Add 14x to both sides.
9x+39<-42
Combine -5x and 14x to get 9x.
9x<-42-39
Subtract 39 from both sides.
9x<-81
Subtract 39 from -42 to get -81.
x<\frac{-81}{9}
Divide both sides by 9. Since 9 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x<-9
Divide -81 by 9 to get -9.
