2x-11<7x+14
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by x+2.
2x-11-7x<14
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-5x-11<14
Combine 2x and -7x to get -5x.
-5x<14+11
Add 11 to both sides.
-5x<25
Add 14 and 11 to get 25.
x>\frac{25}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5. Since -5 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>-5
Divide 25 by -5 to get -5.
