Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

Subtract 66 from the both sides.

556>7v+6649>7vDivide both sides by(7).77(7)<(7)v(7)Reverse the direction of inequality, due to the division with a negative number7<v\begin{align*} 55-6&> -7v+6-6\\ 49&> -7v&&\text{Divide both sides by}\,\, (-7).\\ \dfrac{\cancel{7}\cdot 7}{(-\cancel{7})}&< \dfrac{\cancel{(-7)}\cdot v}{\cancel{(-7)}}&&\text{Reverse the direction of inequality, due to the division with a negative number}\\ -7&<v \end{align*}

Check the solution for v>7v>-7. For example, v=6{\color{#c34632}v=-6}.

55>?7(6)+655>?42+655>?48True\begin{align*} 55\mathop>\limits^{?}-7\cdot(-6)+6\\ 55\mathop>\limits^{?}42+6\\ 55\mathop>\limits^{?}48\\ True\\ \end{align*}
