Question

can any one help
Solve x divided by negative six is greater than three for x.

x is greater than negative eighteen

x is less than negative two

x is less than negative eighteen

x is greater than negative two

Answer 1

Well lets do it here.
x−6>3=−x6>3

To simplify, isolate x first. Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign.

Answer 2

Ok the = sign in between is not practical :) I meant the inequality on the left is equal to the inequality on the right

Answer 3

Lets do it in two steps. First, multiply both sides by 6:
−x6>3

Answer 4

Now, x is not nicely isolated yet, as it has a minus sign in front of it. Multiplying both sides by -1 is the logical next step. Remember though, multiplying both sides by a negative number flips the > sign.

Answer 5

Could you continue from
−x>18?

Answer 6

Or is it clear? :)

is the 18 a negative
