Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term on one side of the inequality.2 - 7g < 9Subtract 2 from both sides to move the constant term to the right side.2 - 7g - 2 < 9 - 2-7g < 7
Subtract constant term: Solve for g by dividing both sides of the inequality by −7. Since we are dividing by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality sign. -7g / -7 > 7 / -7 g > -1
Solve for g: Check the solution for any mathematical errors.We subtracted 2 from both sides correctly and divided by −7 correctly, also remembering to reverse the inequality sign.
