11>5-10x-14
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 5x+7.
11>-9-10x
Subtract 14 from 5 to get -9.
-9-10x<11
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.
-10x<11+9
Add 9 to both sides.
-10x<20
Add 11 and 9 to get 20.
x>\frac{20}{-10}
Divide both sides by -10. Since -10 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>-2
Divide 20 by -10 to get -2.
