Nope :(

@GretaKnows

Answer 6

Multiply everything inside of the equation with 3 so
3*x and 3*2

Answer 7

so what does it look like now?

Answer 8

and what is the next step?

Answer 9

3x + 6 > x? @GretaKnows

Answer 10

yes and now you have to get x on one side and by itself. to do that you have to move 3x over to x. So what does the equation look like after that?

Answer 11

agh I can't figure it out @GretaKnows

Answer 12

6>-2x

Answer 13

now we have to make -2x only x. divide -2 on both sides

Answer 14

Remember when you add or divide negative numbers in an inequality like this you have to switch the sign to the other side

Answer 15

Is the first one the answer?

Answer 16

@GretaKnows

Answer 17

No what is 6/-2

Answer 18

Oh oops lol. You said negative 2.. Well its -3

Answer 19

So it's the third choice?

Answer 20

@GretaKnows

Answer 21

no. when you divide by -2 you get -3<x. Now flip the whole think so x is first and not -3.
x>-3 its the last one
