Answer 2

negative six x is less than fifty-four
-6x < 54

now we need to get x by itself, so we divide both sides by -6 to get rid of the -6 that is with the x.
-6x/-6 < 54/-6
but remember, any time we divide or times by a negative number we flip the sign of the inequality
-6x/-6 > 54/-6
x > 54/-6

Answer 3

so x < -9

Answer 4

??

Answer 5

*check back at my steps, and you will see I already flipped the sign of the inequality ^_^
x > 54/-6
x > -9

Answer 6
