  - We have to get rid of both numbers on each side, so to do so, we do the opposite of what we see: Since we have a negative 7, we add 7 on each side.

Equation at the end of Step 1:

 -  We have to get rid of numbers on each side, so do to so, we do the opposite of what we see. Since we have a negative 3 being multiplied, we divide by -3 instead.  

 - Since -3 is negative, the inequality direction is changed as well.

Equation at the end of Step 2:

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.
