Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x - 14 > -4 + 3x

subtract 3x from both sides

-5x - 14 > -4

add 14 to both sides

-5x > 10

divide both sides by -5

x < -2

The answer would be -5x > 10.

This is because our last inequality was -5x - 14 > -4 so we add 14 to both sides and it would look like this -5x (-14 + 14) > (-4 + 14) which would transition into our next inequality -5x > 10.

So therefore the answer would be -5x > 10.
