1. you have to add 3 to both sides to get x alone. and -9+3 is -6 so it's x>-6

Okay, so for number two,
If I subtracted one from both sides,
it would be -2x < -12?

I'm trying to apply the same terms.

Thank you, this is what I needed.

2. You have to subtract 1 from the -11. So you'd get -2x≥-12 (since you are now dividing by a negative my teacher told us to switch the sign around) You divide by -2 and get x≥6
