7x+7<5x+6
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by x+1.
7x+7-5x<6
Subtract 5x from both sides.
2x+7<6
Combine 7x and -5x to get 2x.
2x<6-7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
2x<-1
Subtract 7 from 6 to get -1.
x<-\frac{1}{2}
Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
