-174>-2x+35x-42
Use the distributive property to multiply -7 by -5x+6.
-174>33x-42
Combine -2x and 35x to get 33x.
33x-42<-174
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.
33x<-174+42
Add 42 to both sides.
33x<-132
Add -174 and 42 to get -132.
x<\frac{-132}{33}
Divide both sides by 33. Since 33 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x<-4
Divide -132 by 33 to get -4.
