How would you solve 4x > 7 - 10x ?

When solving an inequality, you want to get all of the x terms on one side, just like when you're solving an equation. Therefore, adding 10x to each side would give us:4x (+10x) > 7 - 10x (+10x) which gives 14x > 7Now to get x by itself, all you need to do is divide both sides by 14, so you get:14x (÷14) > 7 (÷14) which gives x > 7/147/14 is the same as 1/2, so x > 1/2
