Hello.We are solving -9.4 > 1.7x + 4.2.First we need to swap sides:[tex]1.7x + 4.2 = -9.4[/tex]Now we need to subtract 4.2 from both sides.1.7x + 4.2 = -9.4 -4.2 . -4.2Now let's combine -4.2 + 4.2 which is 0.We get 1.7x < -9.4 - 4.2Now let's divide both sides by 1.71.7x | -13.61.7 1.7x < -13.6 1.7So we just divided to get x < -8.
