Solve the inequality $-4(x + 4) > x + 7.$ Give your answer as an interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the inequality:

First, let's distribute the left:

Now, let's add 16 to both sides:

Subtract x from both sides:

Divide both sides by -5. Since we're dividing by a negative, flip the sign:

This is saying all values less than -4.6.

In other words, in an interval, this would be from negative infinity all the way up to -4.6. Thus:

We do not use brackets because we do not include -4.6 into our set.

And we're done!
