Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides to isolate the term with x. This gives us -2x > 3 - 7.
Step 3: Simplify the right side. 3 - 7 equals -4, so now we have -2x > -4.
Step 4: To solve for x, divide both sides by -2. Remember, when you divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign. So, -2x / -2 < -4 / -2.
Step 5: Simplifying gives us x < 2.
