To solve the inequality \(-7x - 3 > 0\), follow these steps:
Add 3 to both sides: \[ -7x > 3 \]
Divide both sides by -7. Remember that when dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign flips: \[ x < -\frac{3}{7} \]
Thus, the solution to the inequality is: \[ x < -\frac{3}{7} \]
You can express the solution in interval notation as: \[ (-\infty, -\frac{3}{7}) \]
