Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term −1q by adding 7 to both sides of the inequality.-7 - -1q + 7 > -4 + 7-1q > 3
Rewrite inequality: Since −1q is the same as −q, we can write the inequality as:-q > 3
Divide by −1: To solve for q, we need to divide both sides by −1. Remember that dividing or multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.\frac{-q}{-1} < \frac{3}{-1}q < -3
