-5x-9>2x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-3.
-5x-9-2x>-6
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-7x-9>-6
Combine -5x and -2x to get -7x.
-7x>-6+9
Add 9 to both sides.
-7x>3
Add -6 and 9 to get 3.
x<-\frac{3}{7}
Divide both sides by -7. Since -7 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
