How do you solve this (3 – x)/(2x + 7) < 0?

Question

I would like to know the procedure, not just the answer....Thank You

Answer 1

i think it&#039;s determining whether the answer is less than zero... the equation is less than zero if 3&lt;x  

Answer 2

(3 – x)/(2x + 7) &lt; 0

than

(3 – x)&lt;0

(2x + 7) &gt;0  so x&gt;3

or

(2x + 7)&lt;0

(3 – x)&gt;0   so x&lt;-7/2

the answer is    x&gt;3 or x&lt;-7/2
