Start with the inequality x>1.

J

Practice makes perfect
Let's pick a number greater than 1. x>1 We are asked to investigate -7x. Let's first multiply our inequality by 7.

x>1 âźą 7x>7 Let's remember the following property of inequalities. a>b âźą - a<- b If we use this property, we get the following. 7x>7 âźą -7x<-7 If -7 is multiplied by a number greater than 1, the result is less than -7. The correct choice is J.
